The Prosecution Project is digitising Australia’s criminal justice records – to help researchers as well as family and community historians better access the past.
Working with Griffith University Eresearch staff, researchers at the ARC Laureate Fellowship project have designed a website that will be used by researchers and crowd volunteers to transcribe manual records into a database that will be an enduring record of the history of policing and prosecution of criminal offences in Australia since as early as 1830.
