Mike, I don't know of any universities in America that specialize in certain time periods in certain countries. Universities are centers of education (at least in North America and Europe). They have different departments (humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, technology, etc). Each department has courses and universities can decide where to put history. Maybe some might put it under humanities and maybe others wouldn't. Then they would have courses offered. I don't know how you guys do it in Australia. Maybe you have universities that specialize in each subject.
In the United States, we have the 2nd Industrial Revolution or the Technological Revolution from about the 1870s through World War I. That, coupled with crop failures and other things in the Azores, contributed towards mass migration to America. I've read enough of the passaportes that say they are coming to America "to make a fortune" or "a better life." They are escaping poverty. I have no idea what was going on in Australia around the late 1800s through WWI that would attract immigrants there. Or if it was a period of mass migration to Australia. Maybe there's a university there in Australia that specializes in late 1800s through WWI history. Maybe knowing what was going on in Australia at the time might explain why people chose to go there.
