See CRICOS-registered alternativesConvict, prison and court records can provide rich, if sometimes disturbing, evidence of the lives led by our ancestors. This subject draws upon the expertise of leading historians of crime, the law, and convict transportation to guide you through the vast archival underbelly of the criminal justice system. You will learn about convicts’ journeys from the time of their trials and transportation, through to living under sentence in the Australian penal colonies, and what likely became of them afterwards. You will be shown how to find and use a wide range of digital records and other relevant research materials to contextualise individual convict’s life stories. This is a subject for those who want to get ‘forensic’ about the past.
