Every nation needs an understanding of its past-the significance of this project is that it examines a part of Australia's history that is very little understood. European settlement of the continent was implemented at a time that ideas of race, and the relationship of skin colour to freedom, were altering significantly. These changes had a fundamental effect on the convict colony and the relationship of the early colonists with the aboriginal people. Only by gaining knowledge of how early racial interpretations were influenced by global events can Australia interpret her ever controversial racial history.

每个国家都需要了解自己的过去——这个项目的意义在于，它审视了澳大利亚历史中鲜为人知的一部分。欧洲人在非洲大陆定居的时候，种族观念和肤色与自由的关系正在发生重大变化。这些变化对罪犯殖民地以及早期殖民者与土著人的关系产生了根本性的影响。只有了解早期的种族解释是如何受到全球事件的影响的，澳大利亚才能解释其备受争议的种族历史。
