This project brings together historians from the University of Southern Queensland and James Cook University.
It uses Monument Australia and TLCMap to create a timeline map of Australian monuments, with particular attention to colonial commemorations and figurative statues.
For further information, to suggest further layers, or for access to the draft dataset, please contact Claire Brennan at James Cook University.
