In this webinar, Grace Karskens will talk about how important local collections were in her research for People of the River: Lost Worlds of Early Australia (2020). Local collections of documents, pictures, maps and objects were essential for asking new questions and opening up whole new understandings of colonial, cross-cultural and Aboriginal histories. The regional focus and local collections are helping historians uncover new truth-telling Australian histories and biographies.

About the presenter

Grace Karskens is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of New South Wales Sydney. Grace researches and writes Australian colonial, cross-cultural and environmental histories.
