Brief description Images of Chinese in Australia, NZ and SE Asia, 1850-1950. This project combines historical analysis and database software to review all accessible extant images of Chinese in Australia & NZ for the period (and a selection of images from Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore), to (a) develop a sophisticated research tool for historians, which combines detailed annotations of content and context of images with means for cross referencing these against a framework of people, organisations, places, events, dates and concepts; (b) utilise this research tool, and visual discourse analysis, to investigate, for Australia and Asia: (i) how Chinese chose to represent themselves, and (ii) how Chinese were represented by Europeans.
