Publishers Description: The museums, libraries and colleges of Oxford contain some of the greatest collections of records and objects from Australias recent past. This richly illustrated guide looks at how Oxford perceived Australia as the citys collections grew during the 18th and 19th centuries and how Australia fought against its perceived image. Eight contributions examine, for example, the botanical collection of William Dampier, the papers of Captain Charles Sturt (1795-1869), the evolution of anthropology and the Australian universities of the 19th century.
