We began our search in the American Museum of Natural History’s Anthropology Collections Database using Sabra’s extensive list of almost 30 search<\/strong> terms.* Our initial search in the “Pacific” collection with the specification of “Australia” came back with 1,421 results<\/strong>. We further refined our search to materials from “Unidentified Cultures” in Australia which turned up over 700 results<\/strong>, all the while continuing to apply the list of search terms. We also searched in the museum’s archival databases, but for the most part, did not come up with anything useful that could be traced back to Ngukurr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, using the search terms “Arnhem Land” <\/strong>and “Roper River,”<\/strong> we were able to surface results in both the Digital Special Collections Database<\/strong><\/a> and Anthropology Collections Database.<\/strong><\/a> Ultimately, the content on this page is the result of our extensive research undertaken across various AMNH Digital Research Libraries and Collections Databases. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
