The social and economic historiography of gold in Victoria has excluded a whole quadrant from its landscape. The Aboriginal side of the gold fields story in Victoria has yet to be told. This project will be the first systematic study of the history of Aboriginal people and gold mining in Victoria. It will show that this history is a rich and varied narrative that includes such themes as the environmental degradation and social disruption brought by mining; employment, trade and commerce opportunities it offered Aboriginal people; Aboriginal expertise and knowledge in the discovery of gold; relationships with miners; and the presence of the Native Police Corps on the Goldfields.

维多利亚州关于黄金的社会和经济史学将一整块区域排除在其景观之外。维多利亚金矿的原住民方面的故事还没有被讲述。该项目将是对维多利亚州原住民和黄金开采历史的第一次系统研究。它将表明，这段历史是一个丰富而多样的叙述，其中包括采矿带来的环境退化和社会破坏；它为土著人民提供的就业、贸易和商业机会；土著在黄金发现方面的专业知识；与矿工的关系；以及土著警察部队在金矿的存在。
