Dr Alexandra Mountain, Archives Manager for the Society of Australian Genealogists took us back in time to the first settlement. She treated us with a presentation entitled “Ironclad Sisterhood: Convict Women in NSW”. Ironclad Sisterhood drew our attention to the more than 4,700 women who were transported to NSW from 1788-1818. The original research on the subject had been initiated by Jess Hill, Fellow of the Society of Australian Genealogists. The project incorporates a website, an online searchable database, a podcast and artificial intelligence images. Alexandra discussed how the project came together, its ongoing development, and how it can be useful for your own family history research!
