100 Places. Countless Tasmanian Stories. Tasmania's heritage is alive - in stone, timber and imagination. Tasmanian Built reveals 100 extraordinary places from the Tasmanian Heritage Register, each a storyteller of the island's ingenuity, resilience and spirits. Step inside wind-battered huts, mid-century homes, factories, tin sheds and the unexpected beauty of industrial rebirths.

Through powerful vignettes and stunning imagery, this book invites you to look again - not just at what was built, but why. This is a journey through Tasmania's living history. A tapestry of place and purpose. An ode to the island, its special places, and the people who shaped them.

An introduction to the places and stories of the Tasmanian Heritage Register.. Dr Stuart King discusses the history of heritage appreciation in Tasmania, and protective measures put in place over the course of the twentieth century.

Dr Caroline Evans is a historian with a deep commitment to uncovering Tasmania's social histories, particularly those too often overlooked. Since 1991, she has researched and published on Tasmanian lives and institutions, combining academic depth with a storyteller's sensibility. Caroline served as a historian on the Tasmanian Heritage Council from 2009 to 2011 and since 2020, bringing a critical human lens to the interpretation of place. Caroline is also a member of the Registration Committee. Her favourite inclusion in Tasmanian built is the Strahan Visitor Centre. Its original exhibition captured the vitality and optimism of the Franklin River campaign, a movement she experienced firsthand while helping to organise transport for protesters, enthusiastically assisted by her four-year-old daughter. The centre's spirited design reflects that era's powerful confluence of environment, activism and identity. A place she wishes had made the cut is Wybra Hall in Mangalore, a Federation Queen Anne-style building that once housed boys in state care. As Caroline's recent research explores the experiences of boys in out-of-home care, Wybra Hall stands as an important and largely unspoken part of our collective past. Caroline's career has spanned academia, freelance history and oral history work with the National Library of Australia. Through all of it, she has been guided by a belief that every place holds a story, and every story deserves a place.
