COLLECTION OVERVIEW

Scope and content note The Aurukun Mission, situated on the west coast of the Cape York Peninsula, was established in 1904 by Moravian missionaries sponsored by the Presbyterian Church. Early work was carried out by the Rev. A Richter and TW Holmes.

In 1925 it was handed over to the Australian Presbyterian Board of Missions and from 1972 was managed by the Board of Ecumenical Missions and Relations (BOEMAR) of the Presbyterian Church of Australia which from 1976 became part of the Uniting Church. The Superintendant-Missionary between 1923 and 1965 was the Rev. WF MacKenzie. The activities of the Mission fell under the jurisdiction of the Queensland Department of Native Affairs (from 1965 Department of Aboriginal and Island Affairs and from 1975 Department of Aboriginal and Islanders Advancement).

From 1972 it also came under the Commonwealth Department of Aboriginal Affairs. In 1978 the area of the Mission was gazetted as a shire.

During the period documented by the papers, the Aboriginal population at the Mission was between 500-700.

Provenance The archives of the Aurukun Mission were deposited in the Institute at the end of 1979 by the Aurukun Aboriginal Council and were catalogued by Ms. Diane Smith during the following year.
