Dr David Horton, General Editor
The map of Aboriginal Australia was created by Dr David Horton and produced by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.
This map was developed for the Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia and is sold at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.
'Among my key guiding principles in constructing this work have been an emphasis on people and a lack of objectification. Just as this is not an encyclopaedia of material culture or archaeology, or anthropology, nor is it an encyclopaedia of Aboriginal studies. It is an encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia, or an encyclopaedia of the Aboriginal people.'
'I have deliberately set out to create an encyclopaedia of Aboriginal society in its own right as a complete system, as distinct from its appearance in first chapters or introductions to books about the 'real' Australia....'
'I intend this to be not only an encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia, but an encyclopaedia for Aboriginal Australia.' Stated Dr Horton.
