Black Gold: a history of Aboriginal people and gold mining in Victoria, 1850-1900

维多利亚黄金的社会和经济史学将整个象限从其景观中排除。 维多利亚金矿故事的土著一面还没有被讲述。 该项目将是对维多利亚土著人民和金矿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多样的叙述，其中包括采矿造成的环境退化和社会混乱;采矿为土著人民提供的就业、贸易和商业机会;土著人在发现黄金方面的专门知识;与矿工的关系;以及土著警察部队在金矿区的存在等主题。

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.
