Judges’ report: ‘As well as being a history of the marginalised and impoverished in colonial NSW, it examines the methodologies and motivations of public history and family history. These are weighty and, at times, conflicting aims. Tanya Evans weaves the two together effortlessly, allowing the reader to consider the process and motivations of historical research.’ - with Pat Thane, Sinners? Scroungers? Saints?
