ABSTRACT: Responding to the increasing cultural and ethnic
diversity of Australia's population and to awakening
interest in its indigenous minorities, this paper examines
problems of acquisition and dissemination of children's
literature to preserve the cultural heritage of minority
groups. Appendices display population by age groups between
1954 and 1977, populations of urban communities in excess
of 100,000 persons, Australian and overseas-born population
percentages 1954-76, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
populations by state, and an analysis by age group of
children of non-English speaking origin. (RAA)
