Joseph Guenzler, ‘Collecting the West’ reveals the untold stories behind WA’s cultural artefacts, National Indigenous Times, 10 November 2025
A new book from UWA Publishing is reframing Western Australia’s story through the historical artefacts, artworks and natural specimens held in its museums, libraries and galleries.
Collecting the West: Revealing Western Australia through Its Collections explores how these holdings – shaped by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal collectors alike – reflect the state’s cultural memory and the complex legacies of colonisation.
