The Dawn and New Dawn digitised collection is the only complete online archive of these magazines which were issued between 1952-1975 by the New South Wales Aborigines Welfare Board.
If you are looking into family history, or researching for an assignment, this digitised collection allows you to search by the name of a person and specific dates. You will also find details of births, deaths, marriages and baptisms, which is helpful for family history research. You can also view photos from the magazines or read from the complete set of Dawn and New Dawn magazines.
The Dawn and New Dawn also contain articles about the conditions and activities on reserves, stations, homes and schools throughout New South Wales, as well as highlights from the work of the Aboriginal Welfare Board.
