25.01.2022 One of the great talks available for you to attend at the upcoming Heritage Fair Land Records: the ultimate source for family and local historians. Carol Liston is Associate Professor in History at the University of Western Sydney. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Sydney. She is co-editor of the Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society and is senior vice-president of the society for 2018-19.... Her research and teaching cover early colonial history in New South Wales, with interests in people (convict, colonial born and free immigrant), local history, heritage and the built environment. Her particular interest is the colonial development of the County of Cumberland. Her publications include histories of Campbelltown, Parramatta and Liverpool, biographies of Sarah Wentworth, Thomas Brisbane and accounts of social life under Governor Macquarie and the convict women at the Female Factory, Parramatta. An enthusiast for the use of archival resources and primary records as the basis for historical research and writing, she is excited by the increased availability of digital records, such as land records, and uses them in her local and family history research. Her current research project with Dr Kathrine Reynolds is an investigation of convict women transported from Britain to New South Wales between 1800 and 1836.

07.01.2022 One of the great speakers that will be presenting at the Shoalhaven Heritage Fair. Paul will discuss his 2017 book Hidden In Plain View: The Aboriginal People of Coastal Sydney, which shows that Aboriginal people never disappeared from Sydney in the nineteenth century as is often assumed. Instead they lived across colonial Sydney and interacted with its residents and economy, often in unexpected ways. They also travelled to nurture family connections along the coast beyond Sy...dney, including south to the Shoalhaven. BIO Paul Irish is a historian and archaeologist and director of Sydney firm Coast History & Heritage. For over ten years he has been piecing together the Aboriginal history of coastal Sydney with researchers from the La Perouse Aboriginal community, including the 2015 NSW History Fellowship exhibition This Is Where They Travelled: Historical Aboriginal Lives in Sydney, and his 2017 book Hidden In Plain View: The Aboriginal People of Coastal Sydney (NewSouth Publishing).
