About the book
In Storying the Archive: Evoking the Fryer Library Indigenous Collection, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics, researchers, and professional staff, and non-Indigenous colleagues respond to items held in the Fryer Library Indigenous Collection.

Each entry includes a response to a collection or collection item, photographs of the collection, a contributor biography and portrait, and links to the collection item.
