Historian as Memory Custodian: Caring about the Past
The chance discovery of a personal family link to the history of the Stolen Generations led Professor Victoria Haskins to unearth and share compelling stories of cross-cultural interpersonal relationships in modern colonial histories around the world. A social and cultural historian, she elucidates the complex interplay of gender, race and labour relations in the home, to show how the contributions of forgotten people of the past are central to the shaping of our present.
Colonialism and Domesticity
Today, Victoria leads a major research project on the transcolonial history of Indian, Chinese, and other Asian nursemaids – known as ayahs and amahs – who travelled with white and elite Asian families around the networks of the British Empire, from the late 1700s to the 1940s. With her colleagues, Claire Lowrie of the University of Wollongong and Swapna Banerjee, City University of New York (CUNY), she has produced a unique online digital history exhibition Transcolonial Journeys. In February 2023, Victoria takes up a fellowship with the CUNY Graduate Center to continue her research on the global circulation of cultural representations of the ayah.
Victoria’s fascination with colonial domestic service histories began with the discovery of a photograph of her grandmother, as a child, with an Aboriginal nursemaid. The story that emerged, of her great-grandmother Joan Kingsley-Strack’s outspoken advocacy for the rights of Aboriginal domestic workers and the end of child removal in the 1930s, became the topic of Victoria’s acclaimed debut book, One Bright Spot. It also led to her desire for a deeper understanding of the meaning and significance of carework and domesticity in settler colonial and imperial histories.
In 2005, on a visiting fellowship to Harvard University, Victoria found archival evidence of the existence of a largely forgotten scheme in the United States known as Outing, that involved placing Native American girls with white families to work as maids during the early twentieth century. This became the foundation of a transnational study of state intervention and Indigenous domestic service in Australia and the US. In 2012 Victoria’s monograph on the Outing scheme, Matrons and Maids, marked the first book-length study to comprehensively explore this facet of American race relations.
Together with Claire Lowrie, Victoria published an interdisciplinary edited collection on Colonization and Domestic Service in 2012, that charted a new direction in this area of scholarship. Their collaboration continued with a project, led by Julia Martinez and including Frances Steel, on male domestic workers (known as “houseboys”) in the Asia-Pacific, that culminated in a 2018 co-authored monograph and inspired her current research project.
Fresh Insight
Victoria argues that labours of love and care in the home – sometimes called ‘reproductive labour’ – were essential not only to colonial economies but also to the social and cultural structures of colonization. Because of the significance of this work and its potential to both gird and subvert colonial regimes, patterns of regulation and cultural fixation emerge in colonial histories that leave powerful but complicated legacies in our present.
The rich human stories embedded in these histories drive Victoria’s passion for this research. As a founding co-director, with John Maynard, of the Purai Global Indigenous History Centre, Victoria always situates her approach to sharing these often marginalised histories within a broader framework of respect, collaboration, and reciprocity. “Part of my role as a historian is to be a memory custodian,” Victoria says. “Understanding and honouring the full range of experiences in our past is essential to building a positive future.”
Historian as Memory Custodian: Caring about the Past
Professor Victoria Haskins' study of Indigenous domestic service policies across two countries is filling a gap in the historical narrative.

Research ExpertiseAs a cultural and social historian, my main field of research interest is the history of colonialism and domestic labour, which grew out of my broader interest in cross-cultural relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women in settler colonial histories. Methodologically, I am interested in personal narratives, visual and material culture, and the complex nature of the historical archive. I am currently working on an ARC Discovery project based at the University of Newcastle, "Ayahs and Amahs: Transcolonial Servants in Asia and Britain 1780-1945" DP200100375.
Teaching Expertise
My teaching expertise is in Australian social, cultural and political history, with a particular focus on Indigenous cross-cultural histories and women's histories. With background professional experience as a history curator, I have also taught and supervised students in museum studies.
Administrative Expertise
I have held various senior leadership roles since 2013, including serving as the President of the University's Academic Senate between 2020-2022.
Collaborations
My international research collaborations include working with scholars based in the UK, the US, and Asia on a variety of projects and initiatives. I am committed to the principles of collaborative research and teaching both within and between institutions of higher education and cultural resources. I am also deeply committed to collaborative research with Indigenous historians and community members.

One Bright Spot is about one of these families - about 'Ming', a Sydney wife and mother who hired Aboriginal domestic servants in the 20s and 30s, and became an activist against the Stolen Generations policy. Her story, reconstructed by her great-granddaughter, tells of a remarkable, yet forgotten, shared history.

[more] This chapter compares the experiences of Barbara Thompson and Eliza Fraser, two white women who lived with Indigenous people on the other side of the frontier in colonial Queensland, to foreground their relationships with Indigenous women. It considers how they negotiated Indigenous women¿s worlds, and how Indigenous women negotiated their intrusion. It treats their meeting and adoption into Indigenous women¿s networks, speculates on the ways Indigenous women positioned the intruders, and details intimate relationships between white and Indigenous women. Through work, Thompson became a part of the Kaurareg community; through refusal to work, Fraser remained alienated from the Butchulla. This understanding provides a basis for a revised historical and reconciliation practice that both recognises Indigenous women¿s work and seeks to reciprocate.

[more] This essay offers a reflection on conducting historical research relating to First Nations women¿s lives and cross-cultural relationships in ways that are ethical and informed by feminist sensibilities. In dialogic mode, the authors work through issues and insights that have arisen in the process of researching the life story of Arrernte woman Minnie Undelya Apma, who was abducted as a child from her parents in Central Australia in 1920 by anthropologist Herbert Basedow and his wife Olive (Nell). The process of collaborative research between Kath and Victoria ignited a relationship of mutual understanding and empathy that yielded further enquiries. Fundamentally the process created a space for us to talk and think about the many ways we approach and understand the remarkable history of Minnie Apma¿s life, that includes how that story is told and by whom. We argue that there are meaningful ways for First Nations and Second Peoples researchers of First Nations¿ women¿s life narratives to work together, that will not only improve historical scholarship, but also help to build respectful relationships that counteract inequality and ongoing disempowerment of First Nations people in our society.

[more] On the very first Anzac Day commemoration, a young coal miner¿s daughter from Kurri Kurri in regional NSW was arrested and charged for illegally wearing the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) uniform. This was the third time that Maud Butler had impersonated a soldier: on the first two occasions, she had actually managed to get aboard a troopship before being discovered by the authorities. Butler¿s ¿nonsensical escapades¿ (as one reporter termed them) offer an insight into the unstable constructions of gender difference and female patriotism during wartime. This article considers the controversies that surrounded her thwarted attempts to ¿pass¿ as a male soldier, in the wider context of patriotism, masculinity and militarism during the First World War. Dissent of anti-war women in Australia in this period challenged masculine control of public space, but it is clear that the activities of pro-war women could do the same. As the authorities¿ bemused interventions and the discussions that ensued highlighted, such female enthusiasm for the war effort that Butler displayed threatened existing gender norms and social order. Reframing Butler¿s actions to shame reluctant men into enlisting could only imperfectly resolve the challenge her transgressions posed to Australian society, at a time of profound social change and upheaval.

He was not alone, but one of a number of concerned parents who sought the return of their daughters through the Committee for Aboriginal Citizenship. The fact that Aboriginal fathers were involved in this campaign challenges the stereotype of the 'fatherless' mixed-race child that underpinned the state's presumption of a patriarchal authority over Aboriginal girls and unmarried womena stereotype that endures. The following article exposes the maladministration of the NSW Aborigines Protection Board and highlights the assumptions about race and gender that are embedded in the history of the Stolen Generations.

[more] This paper reports on an Australian project that is developing an online system to deliver researcher-driven national-scale infrastructure for the humanities, focused on mapping, time series, and data integration. Australian scholars and scholars of Australia worldwide are well served with digital resources and tools to deepen the understanding of Australia and its historical and cultural heritage. There are, however, significant barriers to use. The Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia (TLCMap) will provide an umbrella infrastructure related to time and space, helping to activate and draw together existing high-quality resources. TLCMap expands the use of Australian cultural and historical data for research through sharply defined and powerful discovery mechanisms. See https://tlcmap.newcastle.edu.au/.
