So much of our Australian Military history is being unearthed on the web. This presentation will look at online resources such as databases, diaries, blogs and sites, including the new Mapping our ANZACs (National Archives of Australia) site.
Students now have access to primary source material; they can read the diggers own words, view photographs and artifacts, dabble in a bit of genealogy, or research old scholars or a name from the local war memorial.
