    Abstract

    TGH Strehlow's biographical memoir, Journey to Horseshoe Bend, is a vivid ethno-historiographic account of the Aboriginal, settler and Lutheran communities of Central Australia in the 1920's. The 'Journey to Horseshoe Bend' project elaborates on Strehlow's book in the form of an extensive digital hub" a database and website - that seeks to 'visualise' the key textual thematics of Arrernte* identity and sense of "place", combined with a re-mapping of European and Aboriginal archival objects related to the book's social and cultural histories. Thus far the project has produced a valuable collection of unique historical and contemporary materials developed to encourage knowledge sharing and to initiate knowledge creation. By bringing together a wide variety of media" including photographs, letters, journals, Government files, audio recordings, moving images, newspaper, newsletters, interviews, manuscripts, an electronic version of the text and annotations" the researchers hope to 'open out' the histories of Central Australia's Aboriginal, settler and missionary communities.
