The Aborigines' Protection Society was an international human rights organisation, founded in 1837,^[1] to protect the health and well-being and the sovereign, legal and religious rights of the indigenous peoples subjected by colonial powers.^[2] The Society published tracts, pamphlets, Annual Reports and a journal entitled The Aborigines' Friend, or Colonial Intelligencer. The Society continued until 1909 when it merged with the Anti-Slavery Society to form the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society (now Anti-Slavery International).^[1]
