The Female Convicts Research Centre promotes interest in the female convicts of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania), by encouraging and facilitating research.
Cascades Female Factory works closely with the Female Convict Research Centre to provide access for visitors to the database in the Matrons Quarters where you will find information entered by our volunteers as we attempt to reconstruct the life course of each female convict.
If you are seeking additional information on Tasmanian convicts, their records are freely available via the Libraries Tasmania website as well as a guide to the convict records and other useful resources.
For all other research enquiries please email library@portarthur.org.au
