Abstract

[Extract] The archive produced by officers of the Australian Administration in Papua New Guinea (including not only patrol reports, field diaries and other written records, but also photographs, and material culture collections) has much to contribute to our understanding of the colonial state and its legacy in Papua New Guinea (PNG). In this chapter, we approach this archive as an artefact of knowledge, focusing on the collection made by former government officer Laurie Bragge.
