NSW Premier’s History Awards

The finalists for the NSW Premier’s History Awards have been announced and include works documenting colonial Australian manners, a murder plague in Sydney and the life and legacy of Mahatma Ghandi. The 16 finalists represent varied perspectives on a variety of topics, from the darker side of Australia’s past to the lighter side of life in the past, such as Playing the Numbers: Gambling in Harlem Between the Wars.
The Awards recognise distinction in the fields of historical research, writing and presentation and celebrate the commitment of historians to bring the many stories of the past to light.
