Abstract

Examines concepts of language and power in relation to the history of the Australian aboriginal people. Libraries and abstracting and indexing services play an important role in controlling and interpreting history by the selction of articles, choice of language, e.g. thesauri, to provide access points and the application of subject headings. Uses the Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS) subject headings and the APIS thesaurus (1990) to illustrate this process
