This multidisciplinary project aims to be the first transoceanic investigation of pearling in the Indian Ocean World (IOW), focusing on the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, India/Sri Lanka, Sulu Sea and northern Australia. It will use commodity-based historical analyses and object-centred biographies to undertake comparative studies of labour systems, trade networks and the cultural value of pearls/pearl shell during an era marked by the spread of European imperialism and industrialisation. The project includes historical, ethnographic and film components and is expected to produce texts, films and museum displays. It is also designed to deliver a new understanding of the IOW past, and a new appreciation of Australia's place in IOW history.

这一多学科项目旨在成为印度洋世界（IOW）珍珠的第一次跨洋调查，重点是红海，波斯湾，印度/斯里兰卡，苏禄海和澳大利亚北方。它将使用基于商品的历史分析和以对象为中心的传记，对欧洲帝国主义和工业化蔓延的时代的劳动力系统，贸易网络和珍珠/珍珠贝壳的文化价值进行比较研究。该项目包括历史、人种学和电影部分，预计将制作文本、电影和博物馆展览。它还旨在提供对IOW过去的新理解，以及对澳大利亚在IOW历史上的地位的新认识。
