Happy about this. I had an overnight enquiry from an academic in Dublin with an interest in the "literary cultures of nineteenth-century copper mining". She was particularly interested in the interaction between Indigenous and settler children shown in an #S_T_Gill picture that was reproduced in 1848 in the Illustrated London News.

It pleases me that my project can be useful to other researchers. Plus the enquiry helps me refocus on that content and in a couple of weeks I'll improve on my old page on the #Burra mine. #historyAU
