About the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies |
AIATSIS is an independent Commonwealth Government statutory authority devoted to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies. It is Australia's premier institution for information about the cultures and lifestyles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. |
A staff of approximately 100 people, directed by the Principal, engages in a range of activities of interest to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, scholars and the general public. AIATSIS research staff conduct high-quality research and also administer research grants for projects approved by the Council. |
Our award-winning in-house publisher, Aboriginal Studies Press, publishes an extensive array of books, cassettes and CDs, films and videos, reports, and the Institute's journal, Australian Aboriginal Studies. |
Our Library and Audiovisual Archive holds the world's most extensive collections of printed, audio, and visual materials on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander topics. These materials are used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, researchers, museums, galleries, and many others, including the general public. Mura, the AIATSIS catalgoue is on the internet at http://mura.aiatsis.gov.au. |
