ATSIROM brings together an extensive collection of significant Australian databases containing selected bibliographic records from the country's leading sources, relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It is an invaluable resource for those wanting to research any aspect of Australian Indigenous culture.
The compilation contains references to published and unpublished material including journal articles, newspaper and newsletter articles, pamphlets, ephemera, media/press releases, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, theses, research reports and much more.
A broad range of subjects are covered across twelve different databases, including land rights and Native Title, the stolen generations, deaths in custody, arts, music, environmental issues, literature, Indigenous languages, law, education.
ATSIROM will assist the Australian Indigenous community, researchers, librarians and information professionals, writers, teachers, students, government departments and many others.
Please note:
The AUSTLIT-ATSIS (Australian literature) subset will no longer be included on ATSIROM as of the February 2001 release.
