Exiled – The Port Arthur Convict Photographs | Edwin Barnard | 2010 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

In the 1870s, as Port Arthur penal settlement was closing, someone photographed the remaining convicts. Those photographs survived. This book reproduces them — the actual faces of men transported to Van Diemen's Land from Britain and Ireland between the 1820s and the 1850s. Not paintings, not drawings, not reconstructions — photographs. You are looking at the real people.

In Tasmania | Nicholas Shakespeare | 2007 [SC]

He didn't yet know that his ancestor was Anthony Fenn Kemp — the corrupt, colourful and influential figure now known by some as the Father of Tasmania — or that he would find relatives still living on the island.
