Conference participants took lots of photos of the beautiful Newcastle sunsets they saw. This photo was taken by Natalie Fong.
Some great online history resources were shared by historians tweeting the recent Australian Historical Association conference (#OzHA2017). I have trawled through a lot of links to bring to you some of the useful and interesting history resources that caught my eye.
Conference Papers
Several presenters have very generously shared their conference papers online:
- Bruce Baskerville, ‘The Centenary of the House of Windsor: 1917-2017‘.
- Nicolas Ferns, ‘Tanzanian Thinking: Self-reliance, Development, and the Decolonisation of Papua New Guinea‘ via Academia.
- Jon Piccini, ‘Without distinction of any kind: human rights in 1940s Australia‘ via Academia.
Blogging the Conference
Tweeting a conference is great, but blogging a conference adds depth that is hard to convey in a series of 140 character tweets. I have not found any blog posts about the conference written during the event, but some have been written after the conference:
- ‘Allegiances Beyond Borders: South Australia’s Journey from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor‘: by Bruce Baskerville’s about his #OzHA2017 paper
- ‘OzHA 2017 Recap‘ by Emma Kluge
- ‘‘Wild Jill’: Notes from a plenary session celebrating Australian historian Jill Roe‘ published on the blog of the Australian Women’s History Network
- ‘AHA 2017: PHA NSW & ACT member contributions‘ published on the blog of the Professional Historians Association of NSW & ACT
- ‘Tips for conference organisers: Experiences from the AWHN stream of the AHA‘ published on the Australian Womens’ History Network blog.
I will add to this list if any other posts are written in the next few weeks.
