The NSW Branch Committee invites you to our Annual General Meeting, which will be held online. An agenda will be sent to members shortly.

Please note it is necessary to register for this event.

Dr Mariko Smith will present ahead of the AGM.

This presentation will feature an exciting new virtual tour of the Australian Museum’s First Nations-led and -informed exhibition, -Unsettled with one of the First Nations curators “walking” attendees through the exhibition and highlighting featured historical documents. The First Nations curators’ approach and engagement with archival content (in response to the exhibition’s key objectives and topics as identified in First Nations community consultation) will be covered in this presentation.

See https://australian.museum/exhibition/unsettled/?/ for more information about the exhibition.
