Electronic encyclopedia of gold in Australia
This website is a living resource for those interested in family or local history, technology or material culture.
Telling the story of gold through images, stories and multimedia interactives, it connects individual stories to the wider historical themes of global gold rushes, global migration flows, building the Australian nation and democratic change during the gold rushes.
Support for this project was made available through an Australian Government Gift to the Nation to celebrate National Heritage listing of the Castlemaine Diggings National park and the Eureka Stockade Gardens. Gifts to the Nation is an important part of the Australian Government’s commitment to protecting and promoting Australia’s National Heritage places.
