Chains of Empire delves at Australia’s involvement with the Atlantic Ocean slave trade and the consequences of Britain abolishing slavery throughout its empire in 1833.

This exhibit, created in collaboration with a team of Australia’s leading historians from the University of Western Australia, Edith Cowan University, and the University of Melbourne, and with First Nations guidance, reveals the legacies of British slavery in Australia while also highlighting the true stories of the trials and suffering of indentured workers.

Supported by the Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP200100094.
