This project breaks new ground in historical research and will open up areas of demographic and cultural history rarely understood by historians. By reading penal transportation as an aspect of the international traffic in unfree labour and its use as a form of control throughout the British colonies, as well as examining penal systems in relationship to coercive labour management in the Atlantic world, the project will make a significant contribution to research into the African Diaspora, slavery and colonial history. It will also facilitate an understanding the complexities of race-relations in Australia and help untangle contentious issues concerning Aboriginality.

该项目在历史研究方面开辟了新天地，并将开辟历史学家很少了解的人口和文化历史领域。该项目通过阅读将流放作为国际非法劳工贩运的一个方面，并将其用作整个英国殖民地的一种控制形式，以及审查与大西洋世界强制劳工管理有关的刑罚制度，将对研究非洲移民、奴隶制和殖民历史作出重大贡献。它还将有助于理解澳大利亚种族关系的复杂性，并有助于解决有关土著居民的争议问题。
