The Workshop is composed of three panel sessions. Speakers include John Garrett, Peter Hempenstall, Clive Moore, Brij Lal, Tarcisius Kabutanlaka and Stewart Firth. This two-part session is being organised by the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau and will discuss resources available to Pacific scholars in Australia, focusing on Internet, audio and visual resources, material culture as well as paper document resources. A folder containing detailed information on material held in Archives throughout Australia will be distributed to participants at the end of the Workshop. This third and final session will discuss the forms in which Pacific Islanders' histories are taught and researched in the present, highlighting some of the challenges faced by the discipline in the future.
Open discussion is encouraged in all three sessions.
