When gold was discovered in Victoria, people from around the world rushed to the Ballarat goldfields, including thousands of Chinese migrants.
Historian and Senior Lecturer Dr Sophie Loy-Wilson uncovers the hidden history of Ballarat’s Chinese community through goldfields court cases.
Using detailed maps, witness lists, and deposition testimonies, Dr Sophie Loy-Wilson will reveal how these cases help us reconstruct old Ballarat, highlighting the intricate cross-cultural ties that shaped its multi-ethnic communities from the 1860s to the turn of the century.
