Description

Paper Title: A Cultural History of the Tasman Map

Abstract: This paper traces the multiple meanings of the Tasman Map, from a 17th century Imperialist celebration of the achievements of the Dutch East India Company, to object of desire for 19th century gentleman-anthropologists, to source of intrigue and brinksmanship by a 20th century public institution asserting cultural identity in an evolving nation.
