George Augustus Robinson arrived in Melbourne in late February 1839
to take up his position as Chief Protector in the Aboriginal
Protectorate in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales. In
late 1849, the government decided to abolish the Protectorate
Department, and accordingly in March 1850 the department ceased to
exist. This special volume publishes in one single volume four
previously published volumes of his papers: PART ONE: publishes the
Office Journal of the Chief Protector's Office, and with few
exceptions, the entries were made by Robinson's personal clerks.
Entries by all clerks, bar McGill and Dallimore, have survived, and
are here published. PART TWO: publishes Robinson's Aboriginal
Vocabularies - which is a collection of Robinson's field notes and
Aboriginal vocabularies from south east Australia collected from
1839 until 1852. These notes complement Robinson's private
journals. PART THREE: Miscellanea which is a collection of
Aboriginal vocabularies, sketches, and other oddments. PART FOUR:
Annual and Occasional Reports, 1841-49 is a collection of Official
Reports from the Chief Protector. APPENDIX: Database of European
and Aboriginal staff employed by the Port Phillip Aboriginal
Protectorate, 1839-1853
