Functions of the Depart- ment, according to the Authorizing Act, were to "further and encourage orderly industrial, economic and social development for the betterment of the people of the Province in accordance with the principles and requirements of a democracy". The chief concern of the Department is to institute and further proposals for the development of the Provincial economy, and to serve as a co-ordinating agency for all departments of the Government and to administer several statutes since as- signed to it. ^ The Rental Control Board maintains offices in both Edmonton and Calgary to administer the Rental Control Act. The Board's purpose is to arbitrate any disagreements which landlords and tenants are unable to settle themselves. Board hearings are held at Edmonton and Calgary and at various other centres throughout the Province. Every encouragement is given to both landlord and tenant to settle the disagreement themselves, but where all efforts fail, a de- cision is rendered by the Board. The Department is represented in Southern Alberta by the Southern Area Office, situated in Calgary. ^Cultural Activities Branch ^Public Relations Office ^Publicity Bureau ^Immigration Branch ^|Agent General in London ^Film and Photographic Branch ASouthern Alberta Branch ^1Alberta Travel Bureau ^ Industrial Development and Economic Research Branch DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS HON.

  • Australia's Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901
    IRSH 63 (2018), Special Issue, pp. 45–63 doi:10.1017/S0020859018000214 © 2018 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis A Natural Hulk: Australia’s Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901* K ATHERINE R OSCOE Institute of Historical Research, University of London Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the British colonial period, at least eleven islands off the coast of Australia were used as sites of “punitive relocation” for transported European convicts and Indigenous Australians. This article traces the networks of correspondence between the officials and the Colonial Office in London as they debated the merits of various offshore islands to incarcerate different populations. It identifies three roles that carceral islands served for colonial governance and economic expansion. First, the use of con- victs as colonizers of strategic islands for territorial and commercial expansion. Second, to punish transported convicts found guilty of “misconduct” to maintain order in colonial society. Third, to expel Indigenous Australians who resisted colonization from their homeland. It explores how, as “colonial peripheries”, islands were part of a colo- nial system of punishment based around mobility and distance, which mirrored in microcosm convict flows between the metropole and the Australian colonies. ISLAND INCARCERATION Today, the island continent of Australia has more than 8,000 smaller islands off its coast.1 As temperatures rose 6,000 years ago, parts of the

This article traces the networks of correspondence between the officials and the Colonial Office in London as they debated the merits of various offshore islands to incarcerate different populations.

ISLAND INCARCERATION Today the island continent of Australia has more than 8,000 smaller islands off its coast.1 As temperatures rose 6,000 years ago, parts of the mainland flooded and islands separated. These events are remembered by many Indigenous communities through “Dreaming” stories. Some islands became bases for fishing, shellfish gathering, and hunting of larger marine animals; others were no longer reachable but remained part of Indigenous communities’ cultural landscape.2 When the British colonizers arrived at Botany Bay in 1788, they enforced European concepts of islands as sites of isolation for the first time.

INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page{s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages.to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
