Schwarz Hope Vale Mission photograph albums (0003-0001)

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The children at the mission learned to read and write in Guugu Yimidhirr (which had been transcribed earlier by the missionaries), and the girls helped in the missionaries’ houses and in the garden. It was routine for the girls to be confined to a dormitory each night and to have limited access to their families. Initially, the missionary Wilhelm Poland supervised them closely at Elim while the senior missionary, Georg Heinrich Schwarz, attempted to establish a second station at Hope Valley. This arrangement was altered in 1890 after the older girls, including Mulun, secretly invited Guugu Yimidhirr boys into their dormitory at night. Thereafter the older girls were periodically sent to Hope Valley to stay with Schwarz. Source: ia.anu.edu.au/biography/mulun-magdalena-29712

  • Giovanni Massa said:
    How long does it take to flip a picture so it looks right?
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Giovanni Massa Apologies, but we try to keep authenticity of the publication by showing the photograph in the way it was presented in the magazine and how it is shown in our catalogue, which you can see by the writing at the top, was horizontal.
  • Giovanni Massa said:
    State Library of Queensland I see, my bad. Got it. I appreciate your work.
