Funded Activity Summary

Family and community in the central Victorian goldfields region, 1851-1933. This project reformulates Australian gold-mining history by offering a blueprint that applies new perspectives and data. It explains historical change systemically across an entire region, through comparative analysis of four key centres (Bendigo, Castlemaine, Maldon, Creswick) in central Victoria. It teases out this analysis by focusing upon domestic and neighbourhood life. It considers how these communities evolved after the ?gold rush? years. It applies demographic analysis and family-reconstitution methods to overlooked archival records. The project promotes collaboration between two universities, provides training for one PhD student, and delivers practical outcomes to heritage and tourist managers, and the general community.
