JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Part 1: Vols 1-45, 1901-1960

The Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society (JRAHS), published twice yearly, is the oldest established journal of Australian history and contains a wide range of scholarly articles and reviews. It is a rich resource for scholars interested in topics such as:

• Exploration of the Pacific
• The First Fleet
• The Foundation of New South Wales
• The growth of Australia as a colony
• Lives of prisoners and explorers
• Economic issues such as the wool industry and mining
• Social history, from the life of a chemist to an account of an opening of the first synagogue in Australia
• Literature and drama
• Images of early Australia - in paintings and photographs
• The development of Australian nationalism
• Immigration

Very few libraries contain a full run of this important journal. For those libraries trying to enlarge their coverage of Australasian and Pacific Studies, this back file will provide access to much important scholarship.
