Hello Colleagues,I am searching out any rich sources/libraries/URLs for images from the Spice Islands,( Islands such as Banda, Molaccas, ( Current name - Malaku), from 16th century to the present, to support a QCA lecturer's PHD in this area. He wants to trace the effects of colonialism and post colonialism through image content.(Apparently " Birds of Paradise" were considered in Europe to be from another world, because their feet were amputated for easier transportation as pets, - how ghastly!)
He will travel to Amsterdam to study primary source material,located with the Dutch East India Company collections. However I thought it would be interesting to collect in this area, both in terms of books and slides.
Also if you know of any other helpful experts in this area he would like to email them!
He has been helpful in creating slide sets on aboriginal/indigenous art from field trips to the Northern Territory, and also has documented the Sculpture Walk on Brisbane's Southbank. I don't know if anyone would be interested in this sort of subject matter? If so I could put you in contact with him. His work helped to win an educational award recently.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jennifer QCA
