Based on new archival research in Ireland and Australia and the development of a data bank comprising information on more than one thousand male and female Irish convicts who arrived on eight transports between 1800 and 1806, this project examines the process of transportation within the context of a much wider Irish diaspora in the Age of Revolutions. It seeks to bring Irish convicts into the mainstream of colonial studies by examining the traditional view of their ?otherness? and by focusing as much on their lives before transportation as after. A book, articles and conference papers will result.

基于爱尔兰和澳大利亚的新档案研究，以及一个数据库的开发，该数据库包含1800年至1806年期间通过八次运输抵达的一千多名男女爱尔兰囚犯的信息，该项目在革命时代更广泛的爱尔兰侨民背景下考察了运输过程。它试图通过审视爱尔兰囚犯的“他者性”的传统观点，将他们带入殖民研究的主流。通过关注他们出行前和出行后的生活。一本书、文章和会议论文将由此产生。
