-
- 63 manuscript maps (some are negative images and photocopies of the original manuscript maps), 50 published maps (some are the same but with different manuscript annotations) and 3 manuscript notes. The manuscript maps of Western Australia show Aboriginal tribal areas. Fifty two maps were drawn by Aboriginal people of the Murchison district, Western Australia showing their camping places, tracks and water-holes, with place names written by Daisy Bates. Six maps are photoreductions of the West Australian Surveyor General's map of Western Australia showing totems, tribal distribution, social organisation and dialects, drawn by Daisy Bates presumably with the help of a Lands Department Officer. Printed maps show goldfield and administrative boundaries, geology, route of North West Prospecting Expedition, rainfall, statistics, sheep and cattle stations, Fremantle Harbour Works and Rottnest Island. Maps drawn and collected by Daisy Bates. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights.
- Title supplied by cataloguer.
- Maps 19, 25, 33 and 42 in the collection have been interpreted in an essay titled "Collaborations" by Peter Sutton, published in Mapping our world : Terra Incognita to Australia / National Library of Australia. Sutton observes that these maps are "among the earliest jointly created ethnographic maps of any part of Australia for which the identities of the various creators are known. It was to be another two decades before similarly jointly produced maps became a standard and plentiful product of field research with Aboriginal people, in expeditions conducted from Adelaide by, among others, Norman Tindale and Charles Mountford."
