Tom Griffiths was born in 1957 in Australia.
Tom Griffiths studied at the University of Melbourne where he received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Later, he earned his Doctor of philosophy from Monash University.
At the beginning of his professional career, Tom Griffiths worked as a field officer at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. Serving in that capacity, he took part in the acquisition of historic manuscripts and pictures for the library’s Australiana research collections.
Then, Griffiths pursued his career at the Australian National University where he rose to the rank of William Keith Hancock Professor of History in the Research School of Social Sciences. He has also chaired the Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and directed the Centre for Environmental History at the university.
During the summers of 2002 and 2003, Griffiths went to Antarctica as Humanities Fellow with the Australian Antarctic Division. In 2008, he visited the University of Copenhagen serving there as Distinguished Visiting Professor of Australian Studies, and the next year was named by the Vice-Chancellor as Adjunct Professor of Climate Research.
The same year, Griffiths provided financial support to the community historical project with people in the Yarra Valley who suffered in the Black Saturday firestorm. It resulted in a couple of books, including ‘Living with Fire’ in collaboration with Christine Hansen, and a movie.
The next expedition to Antarctica, the centennial voyage to Mawson’s Huts initiated by the Australian Government, was held in 2012.
Griffiths’s investigation of the history of his homeland has resulted in many books featuring different aspects of the field. So, in such editions as 1988 ‘The Life and Adventures of Edward Snell: The Illustrated Diary of an Artist, Engineer, and Adventurer in the Australian Colonies 1849 to 1859’ and 1997 ‘Ecology and Empire: The Environmental History of Settler Societies’, he has examined the impact Australians of European origin have had on their adopted country and on its native inhabitants. One of his best-known works, a 1996 study ‘Hunters and Collectors: The Antiquarian Imagination in Australia’, discussed the ways that modern Australians have tried to build a past for themselves from the relics of colonialism.
The most recent publication of Griffiths dating to 2016 is entitled ‘The Art of Time Travel: Historians and their Craft’
