Focus and Scope

The Sydney Journal is a refereed publication that exists as part of the online Dictionary of Sydney. It is concerned with all aspects of the history of the region now known as Sydney, from the earliest human habitation to the present. Our definition of Sydney includes natural forms, zoology, botany and geology, and built forms, those present and those lost through demolition or the passage of time. Our canvas stretches from Pittwater to Port Hacking and out to the Blue Mountains — the whole of the Sydney basin.
