Full description

This dataset is designed to provide information on the spatial locations of all sites of convict incarceration in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), facilitating the geolocation of non-spatial data by researchers. Point coordinates have been provided using the GDA 94 (MGA Zone 55) reference system. The dataset also provides information on the type of convict place, its temporal range of occupation and metadata on contemporary administrative management. Each place has been uniquely coded, providing a tag that can be appended to non-spatial data to facilitate geographic linkage. The dataset was compiled to facilitate comparative research for the ARC Discovery project 'Landscapes of Production and Punishment (DP170103642). It has been released to allow researchers in the same field to utilise similar coding conventions for their analysis of convict places and to provide a framework for similar geolocation projects.
