Before disembarkation in Australia convicts were asked to list their trades as well as coughing up details of prior convictions and levels of literacy. Intuitively one might not expect convicted criminals to always tell the truth. It is therefore not surprising that some have treated the answers convicts provided to their interrogators with a degree of scepticism. The digitisation of convict records has enabled convict claims to be put to the test. This presentation will use digital mapping and other techniques to visualise convict responses to determine the extent to which they provided truthful answers to their colonial masters.
