The main websites presented are:

Dan Byrnes - The Domainwith "personal" (at Level One in terms of directory structure)

Lost Worlds - (at Level Two) on the arcane and mysterious in history: The main page is: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/lostworlds/index.html - This website presents sidelights on History Timelines ancient and modern, features, articles, a variety of booklists, Wisdom Book, etc.

The Blackheath Connection (at Level Two): the main page is: www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/index.html - Footnoted, an overview of convict transportation from Britain and the rise of Australia's convict colonies - a 71++-page website

One of the main purposes ...

One of the main purpose of this domain is to deliver to the Internet a major history writing/research project - The Blackheath Connection.
Producing this has been a major exercise, reviewing the history of convict transportation from England (or, Britain) to North America 1718-1755, and later to Australia from 1786-1810.
Research for this has been undertaken since 1977.
I refer to this project as a website book, (a surfable book?) and a detailed follow-up on the period 1810-1865 is now being completed and some sections of the update are due to appear soon on the Net.
If you are attracted to The Blackheath Connection, prepare for some surprises by way of discovering a new set of perspectives on the rise of Australia's convict colonies from 1788!

Merchants and Bankers Listings: The main page is: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/merchants/index.html - A non-comprehensive timeline/booklist view on economic history to the present, with some comment here and there. This website in 2006 acquired a step-sister website titled The Merchant Networks Project and some of the information of Merchants/Bankers Listings has been moved to Merchant Networks Project.

The Business of Slavery (in English history): main page is: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/business/index.html" - The Business of Slavery in English history - 1530-1700 (with special reference to Australia). This website is derived from a finished, footnoted book and treats the involvement of English interests in slavery from Tudor Times to about 1700.

Bibliographies: (And books are not for sale, as some netsurfers fail to notice.) The main page is: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/bibliogs/index.html - This website is a 27+ file-set of plain-text bibliography listings mostly on Australian history since 1770, although books are listed on Aboriginal Australia (pre-history). Listings are alphabetical A-Z. This website is currently updated infrequently, mostly as newly-published books come to notice. See below.

Other sections of the domain which may or may not grow are: for creative writing including poetry. And files for a kind of personal website which has lately been removed from a different URL on the Net and placed on this domain.

Various other of my writings, and various pages arising from my areas of general interest will also gradually appear on this domain. So please keep watching...

One of these areas of interest is Anglo-Indian-Australian C18th-C19th maritime history and matters associated.

And in general, please feel quite free to e-mail on any topics you find treated on these websites. E-mail will generally be answered within three days.

Dan Byrnes Word Factory: On the Net since late 1996!

The listings given below form a list of filenames only for the first level of folder structure of this domain (www.danbyrnes.com.au/) - which carries several websites on varied topics.

The domain carries only three levels of files. Level Two is occupied by several different websites, of which only two (Lost Worlds and HoTM) has a third level of sub-folders below Level Two.

The listing of Level One files is (in an ordered/alphabetical list) given below:

Below are the files of Bibliography on Aspects of Australian History

These are plain-text, low-maintenance files that have been compiled for years. They are now updated mostly with reference to newly-published books, as briefly as possible. The files proceed alphabetically by surname of author and are arranged A-Z in series as eg., http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/bibliogs/aahistaust.htm, /bibliogs/bbausthist.htm, ccausthist.htm etc

Below is a list of the 70++ files of The Blackheath Connection

THE BLACKHEATH CONNECTION:
A formal history of convict transportation to early European Australia. A website derived from a large manuscript by Dan Byrnes. Produced using Microsoft Word (which bloated files considerably, but this was the quickest way possible to handle the .doc files of the manuscript). Some chapters are still overlong, but have been left this way. One day the author will re-chapterise this manuscript, but, not this week.

Contents: On 47+ chapters of The Blackheath Connection: This file lists all contents in brief: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/contentsbc.htm

The William Bligh problem : This article treats: Literary problems arising from writers failing to assess relevant family-history connections of Bligh in history written since the mutiny on the Bounty (1789). http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/bligh.htm = bligh.htm

ERRORS: In various history books written in the Twentieth Century: This article explains how problems of perspectives have arisen due to ignorance of maritime history: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/errors.htm = errors.htm

The Duncan Campbell Letterbooks: This article treats: Provenance of the Duncan Campbell Letterbooks, with commentary. Historians of the UK, US, and Australia have never seen Campbell as chairman of the British Creditors, in the context of the the settlement of Australia as an outcome of the American Revolution ... we might say, "fallout forgotten"! These Letterbooks are held at Mitchell Library, Sydney: the author holds a letter of permission to quote extensively from the Letterbooks http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/letters.htm = letters.htm

Questions of Slavery: This set of 2-3 articles treats: Lists of English-speaking merchants engaged in the slave trades to about 1800: see files various - http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/slavebc.htm = slavebc.htm, slavery.htm, slaverylw.htm

A Bitter Pill: This special article treats: Thomas Jefferson and the previously-untold story of The British Creditors and their efforts to recover debt monies from before 1775 - what then is the moral reputation of the Founding Fathers of the United States - the writers of the US Constitution? Here, an Australian writer finds new things to say about the foundations of the US from 1786-1789: also concerning how the American Revolution successfully scattered British mercantile interests: http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/bitter.htm = bitter.htm

'Emptying the Hulks' - Duncan Campbell and the first three fleets of convict ships to Australia: This article (earlier print-published) treats: the first three convict fleets as a unified maritime push by Britain into the Pacific - which is not how such matters have ever been seen before. Now, we can ask and answer, what historical material has been lacking here for two centuries? http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/article2.htm = article2.htm

The Blackheath Connection: The original print-published article written 1989-1990 which sparked this large website project: This article treats: Personnel, locations and various matters quite unknown to historians of UK, US and Australia prior to 1989.

What's new? Updated infrequently due to pressure of other work. Check out all sorts of musical questions and latest additions at HOTM - History of Technology of Music at HoTM

HoTM - History of Technology of Music - intended to become a large website, but not quite yet.

This website is based on an original idea by Australian musician Ed Matzenik (once of Tamworth, now living in Maitland NSW) for a book on technological developments in pop music presentation since Elvis Presley made his start. Conversations with multi-instrumentalist Andrew Clermont (of Tamworth) have also been informative/helpful. Still a quite under-developed website due to pressure of other work.

At HoTM you will find a friendly, feasty and feisty treatment of musical history drawn from the world's records... A slow-growing website, so far, but destined to become large, with an emphasis on music in Australia. Some of the offerings are ...
