AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Janet Mathews will be greatly missed. The Institute will remember her in many ways, but her greatest legacy to it and to Aboriginal people is twofold: her collection of stories, word lists, and songs that appear on the 392 field tapes made between 1964 and 1976, and her friendships with Aboriginal people—especially Jimmie Barker, whose remarkable life story resulted in one of the best selling books ever published by the Institute, The Two Worlds of Jimmie Barker.' (Introduction)

    'A new editor of a journal almost inevitably reviews its structure and style to see if any modifications are appropriate. This editor was no exception and a few changes were either implemented in this issue or will become apparent over the next few issues. This is no reflection on the previous editor, Kingsley Palmer, who managed to retain a surprisingly high proportion of those who o receive the journal after payment of subscriptions by members of the Institute was introduced. Because the journal seems to be meeting the needs of a significant readership changes are not likely to be very far-reaching.' (Editorial introduction)
