All sources used in this Wix have been linked to a website.  Year 9 students undertaking further research should use the Australian War Memorial as their starting point  (https//www.awm.gov.au).  Its collections provide much information in written and visual forms as well as film and oral resources.  The various State Libraries and Museums also hold excellent sources.  Trove, a digitised newspaper resource, (http://trove.nla.gov.au/) allows students to read contemporary reports of what happened during the war.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Wix is the result of research undertaken at the inaugural Secondary History Teachers' Summer School at the University of New South Wales, Canberra in January 2015.  Ms Vicki Steer, Principal of Ravenswood School for Girls, kindly supported my application. Many thanks to the group of enthusiatic and dedicated teachers who shared the excitement of the week and who inspired my efforts. The thought-provoking and stimulating lectures and seminars of the week together with the research assistance of the wonderful librarians provided invaluable background and support. The Summer School would not have happened without the work of Dr Michael Molkentin and Professor Peter Stanley, Co-convenors of the Summer School, and I am grateful in particular for the suggestions and guidance of Professor Stanley.
