Now, more than ever before, we seem more willing to acknowledge difficult histories in our family trees. At the same time, historians are increasingly writing about colonial violence and challenging long-held myths.

What impact is this having on how we see Australia’s past, as well as our own?

John Maynard, Mark Dunn, Stephen Gapps, and Kate Grenville speak with Julie McIntyre about their experiences of encountering dark moments in their research and how they've dealt with them in their work.


The History Council of New South Wales is supported by the NSW Government via a grant from Create NSW.
