Speaker: Pamela Rajkowski Pamela Rajkowski is a research author specialising in the history, heritage and contribution of the Australian Afghan Cameleers ( 1860 - 1930). Pamela regularly collaborates with Afghan Cameleer descendants across Australia. Although her research is founded on a range of secondary sources ( eg archives, news papers,), it is enriched by ongoing conversations with descendants.
Pamela's work has been sourced by academics, musuems and the media, both nationally and internationally.
Pamela is credited as being one of the first authors to reseach the history of the Afghan cameleers of Australia and uncovered previously unknown files of stolen generation Aboriginal children of Western Australia ( Linden Girl) that remained active until the 1970s. |
