I am a free lance researcher affiliated with the University of Adelaide and the South Australian First Nation Kaurna Community.  I am working at retrieving German sources relating to the recording of Aboriginal Languages in South Australia by four German Lutheran Missionaries between 1838 and 1852.  Their records are used today for Aboriginal language reclamation programs (e.g. <www.adelaide.edu.au/kwp/>).

Related subjects are
-- similar projects by other Aboriginal Language communities in the region
-- German and wider European migration to South Australia since the mid-1800s
-- LMS mission history in Northern India
-- Moravian church and mission history
-- Australian Lutheran church history and politics (and that of other regional churches)
