This landmark study aims to facilitate a new scholarly and public appreciation of Australian editorial cartooning: something often celebrated, but seldom studied seriously. At a moment when the art-form is transitioning, the study will elucidate its enduring democratic and cultural significance, revealing diverse stories told through cartoons. Expected project outcomes include: pioneering new scholarship; the enhancement of cross-institutional networks; and improved capacity for collaboration between academia and industry (professional bodies and collecting institutions). The project will benefit the nation, providing a truer understanding of the defining Australian sense of humour, press, and political culture, across more than 200 years.

这项具有里程碑意义的研究旨在促进澳大利亚编辑漫画的新学术和公众欣赏：经常庆祝，但很少认真研究。在这种艺术形式正在转型的时刻，该研究将阐明其持久的民主和文化意义，揭示通过漫画讲述的各种故事。预计项目成果包括：开拓新的奖学金；加强跨机构网络；提高了学术界和工业界（专业团体和收集机构）之间的合作能力。该项目将使澳大利亚受益，让人们更真实地了解200多年来澳大利亚人的幽默感、媒体和政治文化。
