Aboriginal Human Remains

For scientific reasons the Museum maintains a collection of skeletal remains. The Museum identifies the need for these remains to be repatriated to relevant communities for reburial.

More information on issues relating to human remains can be found in the "Policies and Procedures Document for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Collections and Related Issues", available through Phil Gordon.
