Funding

This project is funded by:: a 2004 seed grant from the University of Queensland,; a 2005 Special Research Initiative grant (SR0567201) from the Australian Research Council (ARC) and,; the Queensland CyberInfrastructure Foundation (QCIF).

Future Funding

Further funding has been secured in October 2006 for the Queensland Historical Atlas through an ARC Linkage Industry grant ($600,000) in collaboration with the Queensland Museum.

The Queensland Historical Atlas: Histories, Cultures, Landscapes (QHAtlas) will explore the interrelationship between the environmental and cultural histories of Queensland. The project will integrate for the first time the work of Queensland researchers from across the spectrum of ecological history, urban and social history, archaeology and cultural studies, to investigate common themes and develop new knowledge and research dialogues in mapping the mutually determining relationships between 'nature' and 'culture' across time in the Queensland context.
The Atlas will build on technologies developed for the e-archaeology project.

The Atlas is a collaborative research partnership between Professor Peter Spearritt, Dr Geoff Ginn, Professor David Carter, Dr Sean Ulm, Dr. Nicole Bordes and Dr. Clive McAlpine, and colleagues in the Cultures and Histories program at the Queensland Museum.
The project is based in the Centre for Applied History and Heritage Studies.
