Aborigines' Protection Society

Aborigines' Protection Society

The Aborigines' Protection Society was an international human rights organisation, founded in 1837, [http://www.academicmicroforms.com/aboriginee-protection-society.html Aborigines' Protection Society: Transactions,1837-1909] ] to protect the health and well-being and the sovereign, legal and religious rights of the indigenous peoples subjected by colonial powers. [ [http://www.proquest.com/products_umi/descriptions/Aborigines-Protection-Society.shtml ProQuest Database: Aborigines' Protection Society] ] The Society published tracts, pamphlets, Annual Reports and a journal entitled "The Aborigines' Friend", or "Colonial Intelligencer". The Society continued until 1909 when it merged with the Anti-Slavery Society to form the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society (now Anti-Slavery International).
