Abstract
This dataset accompanies the paper 'Skilled workers at the Port Arthur penal settlement, 1830-1836' from the Journal of Australian Colonial History (2020). The tables includes as sample of 700 convicts who arrived at Port Arthur between 1830-36. Their trades upon arrival have been linked and classified according to different systems. It is based upon a dataset created during the ARC-funded project Landscapes of Production and Punishment: The Tasman Peninsula 1830-77 (DP170103642). This was compiled through the work of volunteers, the data coordinators (Melissa Gibbs, Kelsey Priestman and Chris Gallagher) and database manager (Trudy Cowley).
