The Corpus of Australian Contact History and Ethnography (CACHE) is a work-in-progress tool for performing constrained searches on all digitised documents that concern interactions between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people from 1606 to 1928. These include everything from ship’s logs and explorer diaries, to ethnographies, newspaper articles, letters and police records. The search will also bring up museum artefacts and images associated with documents or time periods.

As a proportion of all the documents produced in the contact era those that make any mention of Aboriginal people are remarkably few, recalling WEH Stanner’s famous characterisation of Australian historiography as “a view from a window which has been carefully placed to exclude a whole quadrant of the landscape.” CACHE is intended to go some way toward repositioning this view, although a handful of significant documents that don’t mention Aboriginal people are nonetheless included simply to draw attention to conspicuous documentary silences.

This page represents a  fairly rudimentary draft in which links to digitised records are grouped by year. The full design brief is found here.

Sources included in CACHE are typically those that are already recorded in published bibliographies. Ideally, an expanded version would include lesser-known materials such as those included in the Australian Joint Copying Project, and the Australian Periodical Publications 1840-1845. For the most part, those that ought to be included are listed or stored in the following:

General:

• The Internet Archive
• Trove
• The Australian National Corpus
• The Digital Public Library of America (which incidentally has a ‘related images’ tool)
• HathiTrust

More specific:

• John Alexander Ferguson’s Bibliography of Australia, 1784–1900. [PK: Up to p19]

• Missionary records as organised by Griffith’s German Missionaries in Australia project.

Note that, contrary to convention, a date in square brackets does not indicate the earliest publication date but the relevant time period (or span) of contact encounters covered in the document.

Hunter also aimed at coverage: for example, because he had been at Norfolk Island when Governor Philip was speared at Manly Cove, he carefully incorporated Lieutenant Waterhouse’s participant account of what happened that day, identifying Waterhouse only as ‘someone who was there’. Given its contents, Hunter’s Historical Journal could more properly be called A Collective Report from the Antipodes.]
