Welcome to the History Subject Guide

The library has a huge range of information resources that will help you with your studies. Use this subject guide to find the most relevant resources. Your librarians liaise with your lecturers to ensure that you have high quality information available on campus, at home and at work

Summon is a new library service that allows you to search for journal articles, books and almost everything else the library has, in one easy to use interface. We're still testing to make sure it works perfectly, but we think you'll like it already!

Hansard is now fully online from the first sitting day – 9 May 1901. A digitisation project has resulted in Hansards prior to 1980 now being available in Portable Document Format (PDF) files and as text that can be searched (Extensible Markup Language or XML).

Here are some of the items of interest that are now available electronically:

o   First substantial speech in the parliament – William Groom, (Protectionist, Darling Downs), 21 May 1901 from page 763.

o   First year of the Great War – speech by Prime Minister Andrew Fisher (Protectionist, Wide Bay) 4 August 1915 from page 5556.

o   First female member of the House of Representatives Dame Enid Lyons (UAP, Darwin (Tasmania)). First speech 29 September 1943, from page 182.
