Arthur Mitchell Fraas
In the mid-eighteenth century the British Crown claimed a network of territories around the globe as its "Empire."

Local History From 8000 Miles Away: Early Colac Court Records In The United States, Arthur Fraas
Arthur Mitchell Fraas

In addition, the article calls attention to the increasingly global nature of local history studies. In sharing the story of this trans-oceanic ‘discovery’ and its subsequent digitisation, it provides a possible model for future directions in archival research.
