AUSTRALIAN ROCK ART RESEARCH ASSOCIATION (AURA)
The Australian Rock Art Research Association was established in October 1983. Its principal objectives are to provide a forum for the dissemination of research findings in the fields of rock art, palaeoart studies and cognitive archaeology; to promote Aboriginal custodianship of sites externalising indigenous Australian culture; to co-ordinate studies concerning the significance, distribution and conservation of rock art, both nationally and with individuals and organisations abroad; and to generally promote awareness and appreciation of the early cultural heritage.
AURA produces two periodicals, the international journal Rock Art Research, and the AURA Newsletter. RAR, the discipline’s premier academic journal, appears bi-annually (May and November) and is devoted to developing theory and methodology for the systematic and rigorous understanding of palaeoart and related phenomena. Emphasis is given to communication across the various disciplines related to the study of global rock art, and to synthesising related subjects around the journal’s focus: the surviving externalisations of early world views. The journal is read in over 60 countries and is designed to encourage international debate. Major articles are followed by debates of specialists and the authors’ responses. The AURA Newsletter is an ad hoc communication organ that is received by full members of AURA. In addition, AURA publishes a series of Occasional AURA Publications.
The First AURA Congress was held in Darwin, Northern Territory, in 1988, the second in 1992 in Cairns, Queensland, the third in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, in 2000. AURA is involved in numerous other projects and activities, including exhibitions, research projects, study tours and seminars. Annual AURA Meetings are held in various parts of Australia, consisting of weekend seminars and field trips. AURA has established a major archive of specialised literature, and the association is a founding member of the International Federation of Rock Art Organisations (IFRAO). AURA’s journal Rock Art Research also serves as the Federation’s official journal.
Membership with AURA is open to all persons and institutions professing a commitment to the study, appreciation or conservation of rock art.
