History

The New South Wales Aborigines' Advocate was a monthly publication of the New South Wales Aborigines' Mission, beginning on 23 July 1901 and continuing until 29 February 1908. [1] When the mission changed its name to Australian Aborigines Mission, the publication became the Australian Aborigines' Advocate. At this time the subscription was one shilling per annum. [2]

The publication identified itself as "the organ of the Australian Aborigines Mission" [2] and its purpose was to be a monthly record of work amongst the Australian Aborigines. [2] It continued until 1 February 1929. [3] The mission once more changed name, this time to United Aborigines Mission. Its publication became The United Aborigines Messenger, which continued until April/May 1987. [4] From 1987 until 2003 the magazine was published under the shortened title of Messenger. [5]
