Funded Activity Summary

Biography, History and the case of Adelaide Ironside. This project aims to extend and expand the form of historical biography by offering innovative solutions to the research problems associated with retrieving lost lives from fragmentary sources. Combining praxis and theory, this project develops a methodological framework for this genre, reconstituting the scanty archive of Australian colonial artist Adelaide Ironside into a narrative-driven biography and then critically investigating that process. It thus restores forgotten stories to the nation’s narrative and extends the impact of historical research.
