Beth Roberts's story of Manganinnie — an Aboriginal Tasmanian woman separated from her people during the Black Drive of 1830, the coordinated colonial military operation that attempted to sweep the remaining Aboriginal population of Van Diemen's Land into the Tasman Peninsula. The story was adapted into a highly regarded Australian film in 1980, directed by John Honey and produced by the Tasmanian Film Corporation.
A collection of rare and significant maps from the Royal Society of Tasmania's collection — many of them little seen by the public — published to showcase the breadth and historical significance of the Society's cartographic holdings. The maps principally cover Van Diemen's Land from the earliest days of European contact and settlement, but the collection extends to areas "beyond".
