These photographs have been published with the expressed intent of making Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) cultural heritage held at UMA, known and available to families and communities for reclamation. In its role of collecting and caring for cultural heritage, UMA recognises that it has a duty to the persons in the photograph, their descents and to facilitate connections to culture and kin. To date (July 2018) the descriptions of these photographs have based on current published resources, which can sometimes have contradictory information concerning dates, names or places. UMA has attempted to represent these differences, where they occur, rather than determining which is correct. We greatly welcome all feedback and comments about improving the current descriptions, as well as including family and community perspectives.
