Western Australian Legacies of British Slavery

该项目旨在通过探索英国在西澳大利亚的奴隶制遗产，将澳大利亚带入全球奴隶制历史。通过发展传记研究和数字地图的创新方法，它将追踪资本、人员和文化从拥有奴隶制的英国到西澳大利亚州的流动，并产生奴隶制财富在塑造殖民地移民、投资和法律方面持续影响的新历史。该项目的预期成果包括加强建立国际学科合作的能力，新的研究方法，以及一个重要的国家在线展览。好处包括对澳大利亚历史和当前废除奴隶制的全新看法，以及重大的公共成果。

This project aims to bring Australia into the global history of slavery by exploring the legacies of British slavery in Western Australia. Through developing innovative methods for biographical research and digital mapping, it will trace the movement of capital, people and culture from slave-owning Britain to WA, and produce a new history of the continuing impact of slavery wealth in shaping colonial immigration, investment, and law. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity to build international disciplinary collaborations, new research methods, and a major national online exhibition. Benefits include a radically new perspective on Australian history and abolition in the present, with major public outcomes.
