| Name | Convict Landscapes - Australia and Norfolk Island |
|---|---|
| Description | This layer represents some of the spatial data collected as part of the Landscapes of Production and Punishment - Mapping Convict Landscapes project, a multi-disciplinary investigation exploring the industrial and spatial basis of the convict system in Australia. The project has been collecting information on the location of places of convict accommodation (barracks, depots and stockades), incarceration (gaols and prisons), labour (work places and public works) and control (early court houses, police stations, military barracks) 1788-1888. This spatial information provides the basis of tracing the flow of goods and people (convicts, administrators and military) through the convict system, as well as allow us to track the locations of offences and which places convicts were absconding from. Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) is covered by a separate map. |
