Hiller's Ph.D. thesis focuses on the period of Newfoundland's political history from 1874, when C. F. Bennett's anti-confederate party was defeated by Frederic Carter's Conservatives, to the election of Robert Bond's Liberals in 1900. Hiller found there was a particular lack of material written about this significant this period in Newfoundland's history; the Newfoundland Railway, Bait Act, and colonial politics, as well as the considerable internal political strife experienced in Newfoundland during the period are all topics Hiller discusses at length.
