The Westlake Papers form a rich but almost untapped source for Tasmanian Aboriginal history, culture and language. Now housed in the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, they were created by amateur scientist Ernest Westlake during his journey to Tasmania in 1908–1910 to collect Aboriginal stone artefacts. Central to the collection are the notes Westlake made in interviews with 95 Tasmanians – both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal – about the lives of the traditional indigenes.
