Colonial Frontier Massacres Map
More than 250 Aboriginal massacres that occurred during the spread of pastoral settlement in Australia are documented in the online Colonial Frontier Massacres Map, created by a team led by Professor Lyndall Ryan.
Time Layered Cultural Map
The Centre for 21st Century Humanities is leading the development of a powerful software platform called the ‘Time-Layered Cultural Map of Australia’ (TLCMap). Funded by a 2019 $420,000 ARC LIEF grant, the TLCMap will allow humanities researchers to build digital maps with pathways and search the data held in different Australian repositories by location and time and compile new data sets.
