Over the last few years, an interdisciplinary group of researchers, including historians, archaeologists and digital humanists, have worked together to develop a project to help better understand the remarkable and sometimes misunderstood Martindale Hall, its families, objects, and legacy.

In this talk Flinders University will share some of the findings of the research, discussing the Hall’s its place on Ngadjuri land, the people who have called it their home or workplace, the flows of people and objects to, from and around Australia and beyond.
