Topics examined include mining licences, political grievances, land access, mining technology, Chinese miners, earnings, social conditions, and the broader administration of the goldfields. The Commission's findings helped shape later reforms and offer historians a vivid contemporary account of the tensions and aspirations that emerged during the gold rush years.
