Abstract

Australia’s unsuccessful attempt to remove ‘sensitive’ files from the Territory of Papua and New Guinea (PNG) in 1972 adds new insights into emerging literature on the migrated archive. This paper argues that fears of reputational damage, possessiveness and race-based logics animated Australia’s actions. It illuminates how an unlikely alliance of Australian archivists and academics with PNG nationalist elites saw the removals policy reversed, thus ensuring the nation’s colonial era records remained in place. It also demonstrates the migrated archive’s global nature, as well as locating Australia and PNG within the late twentieth-century narrative of empire’s end.

“以巴布亚新几内亚的方式思考”:1972年的敏感档案案和澳大利亚的移民档案

1972年，澳大利亚试图从巴布亚和新几内亚领土(PNG)移除“敏感”文件的尝试失败，为有关迁移档案的新兴文献提供了新的见解。本文认为，对声誉受损、占有欲和基于种族的逻辑的恐惧推动了澳大利亚的行动。它阐明了澳大利亚档案工作者和学者与巴布亚新几内亚民族主义精英之间的一个不太可能的联盟是如何扭转了驱逐政策，从而确保了该国殖民时代的记录保留下来的。它还展示了迁移档案的全球性质，以及将澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚置于20世纪后期帝国终结的叙述中。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
