The Van Diemen Anthology 2021: The best of the Van Diemen History Prize remises

The best of the VAN DIEMEN HISTORY PRIZE 2020-2021 selected by Dr Kristyn Harman, Prof Stefan Petrow, Paige Gleeson and Chris Champion.

The idea for The Van Diemen History Prize came out of a conversation with Associate Professor Kristyn Harman, of the University of Tasmania. Her idea was then honed to fit the underlying philosophy of Forty South Tasmania - high-quality writing on a Tasmanian theme, aimed at a general audience. The competition is for articles up to 3,000 words on any aspect of Tasmanian history prior to the 21st century.

The Van Diemen Anthology 2021 contains a selection of the best articles from the 2020-2021 competition written by Tony Fenton, Terry Mulhern, John Beswick, David Faber, Madonna Grehan, Nic Haygarth, Fiona MacFarlane, Erica Nathan, Rohan Price, Danielle Scrimshaw and Bradley Wood.
