Convict labour landscapes, Port Arthur 1830-1877

The data contained in this webmap was generated by the Landscapes of Production and Punishment: the Tasman Peninsula 1830-77 project, funded by the Australian Research Council (DP170103642, 2017-19) with support from the project’s industry partner, the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority. This project examined the convict system from the perspective of convicts as workers, using the buildings, work sites, products and life outcomes to understand their lives and labours whilst under sentence. The project focused on the convict places of the Tasman Peninsula (Tasmania, Australia), in particular the former penal settlement of Port Arthur (1830-77). Today Port Arthur is a premier tourist destination in Australia, and is one of the 11 places inscribed on the World Heritage List as the Australian Convict Sites. <br> This mapping will prove invaluable for those visiting or researching the historic site, showing them where buildings and other infrastructure were situated in the landscape at any point between 1830 and 1877. Historic plans from the Tasmanian Archives have also been georeferenced to a number of areas at the site, providing an extra layer of information. Hundreds of offences committed by the convicts whilst they were at Port Arthur have similarly been referenced to the landscape, providing information on both the time and place where offences occurred. <br> The mapping and offence data was originally compiled by Dr Richard Tuffin within a geographic information system, with Esk Mapping &amp; GIS creating the web-mapping interface.

本网络地图所含数据由“生产与惩罚的景观：塔斯马尼亚半岛1830-1877”项目生成，该项目获澳大利亚研究委员会资助（项目编号DP170103642，2017-2019年），并得到项目行业合作伙伴亚瑟港历史遗址管理局的支持。该项目以罪犯作为劳动者的视角审视罪犯制度，通过建筑、工作场所、产品及生活结果，探究他们服刑期间的生活与劳作。项目聚焦于塔斯马尼亚半岛（澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州）的罪犯场所，尤其关注1830-1877年间的前亚瑟港罪犯流放地。如今，亚瑟港是澳大利亚顶级旅游目的地之一，亦是“澳大利亚罪犯遗址”这一世界遗产名录中11处遗址之一。

该地图对参观或研究该历史遗址的人士而言极具价值，可向其展示1830-1877年间任何时期建筑及其他基础设施在景观中的位置。塔斯马尼亚档案馆的历史规划图亦已与该遗址的多个区域进行地理参考（georeferenced），提供了额外的信息层。罪犯在亚瑟港期间所犯的数百起罪行亦已与景观关联，提供了罪行发生的时间与地点信息。
