WEB LINKS
The following web links were compiled for Australian
Cultural History 2004 by Mischa Barr. The links are
divided into general research links and more specific
areas derived from the seminar topics.
An asterisk (*) denotes a particularly useful website;
two asterisks (**) indicate a super website.
General Australian History
Research Links
NOTE: Many of these ‘general’ sites
link to each other, so that searching can be rather
circular.
The National Library of Australia - www.nla.gov.au:
State Libraries:
Universities:
Museums:
Archives:
Historical Organisations, Associations etc:
Other Useful Databases, Websites etc:
Journals:
NOTE: Many journal websites only have abstracts of
articles from back issues online. The best to access
online journal articles through Sydney Uni Library:
SETIS or Expanded Academic Index.
Cultural Contact
NOTE: See also: 'On the Margins'
Landscape
The Home
NOTE: This was a difficult topic to find online resources
for. Many of the links are on very specific issues /political
and may not be very useful.Additionally, there are numerousfamily
histories on the web (just type ‘family’ into
a search engine!)
Shakespeare in Australia
Melbourne
Sport and Popular
Culture
NOTE: Obviously there are a lot more ‘popular
culture’ sites out there than are listed here.Students
are advised to do their own searches on more specific
topics within ‘popular culture’ (such as ‘radio’,
‘cinema’ etc).
See also: ‘Hollywood and Americanisation’
Food
NOTE: Several of these websites include links to old
recipe books.
The City
NOTE: See also ‘Melbourne’
Bohemianism and Respectability
School
Things
NOTE: For museum websites, see 'General' section
Body at the beach
NOTE: It can be difficult to find sources on the ‘body’
as many search results returned are ‘adult’
sites and women’s magazines.
Body at war
Norman Lindsay
Belief
Hollywood and Americanisation
NOTE: Some of these links are also relevant to ‘Sport
and Popular Culture’.
Political Cultures
Overseas
Suburbia
NOTE: There are many local histories on different suburbs.
The Car
NOTE: These are only a few links relevant to motor
transport that were encountered in connection with the
other research topics. Specific research on ‘the
car’ would yield further resources.
On the Margins
NOTE: There are thousands of sites on Aboriginal and
multicultural Australia — this is a very small
selection, divided into different topic areas.
Searching for terms such as "migrant"/"immigrant"/"immigration",
"multicultural"/"multiculturalism",
"ethnic", "racism", "White
Australia", "cultural diversity", "refugees"
and the names of specific ethnic groups, etc. would
produce many more search results.
Most libraries and archives have Aboriginal/Indigenous
and Immigrant/Multicultural Australia etc. Collections.
Students should search these individually.

Immigrants/ Multicultural Australia:
