Viewing ofReference Material
Art students and others conducting research are welcome to make an appointment with us to view the works listed in the adjacent table.
It is also recommended for Europeans to use the online search system at KVK (Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog), in which all German and many European scholarly libraries list their available references. Sometimes the works are available for loan.
A list of further references about Australian art, which however are not yet in our reference collection, is also maintained and continually extended.

Cover Text
What is the polite way to approach a Ngaanyatjarra camp? How many seasons are there in the Ngaanyatjarra year? If a Panaka man marries a Tjarurru woman, will their children be Karimarra or Yiparrka? These questions and a host of others are answered in Amee Glass's 'Into Another World: A glimpse of the culture of the Ngaanyatjarra people of Central Australia'. 'Into Another World' takes you step by step through some important aspects of Ngaanyatjarra culture - language and kinship, good and bad manners, attitudes to birth, childhood, adulthood and death, and the changing world of the Ngaanyatjarra.
