Panopticon to Plexus
The records of colonial Australia, where unfree work and outputs were systematically recorded across many years, constitute an astonishingly vast and rich labour history archive, much of it recorded in tabular form and thus immediately suited to transcription and digital analysis. In this article, we depart from conventional tabular data constructs and employ graph database technology, enabling us to investigate the structured and unstructured co…
Ghosts and the machine
This article presents the findings of an experiment in the use of Artificial Intelligence text generation processes to convert historical 'big data' into narrative text. Using an extensive collection of records pertaining to the Australian colonial settlement of Norfolk Island in the South Pacific (1788–1814), we investigate Generative Large Language Model technology for converting tabulated data from the site into short pieces of novel text, des…

We do not here theorise the distinctions between, for example, prosopography and 'collective biography', noting only that attempts to locate individual lives within broader systems and structures, including methods employing large-scale quantitative analyses, have revolutionised history and biography, and that such definitions are sometimes loose and flexible
