AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mary Tomsic's selective survey of twentieth-century Australian film history makes a valuable addition to the growing catalogue of books about women's myriad and, of course, neglected contributions to film production and culture. Over the past few decades scholars have reconsidered both the roles women have played throughout film history as well as the questions raised by their rediscovery. Feminist scholars in particular are increasingly aware that in order to tell new stories about the impact and legacy of women's work, historiographers must also devise new questions and new methods.'

    'This issue of Australian Historical Studies is the final one in our editorial tenure of the journal from 2015 to 2018. During this time, it has been a privilege to publish a range of fascinating articles in Australian history, and to support new historical work that examines Australia’s place in the world, and the international, transnational and localised connections that have shaped national historical experiences. This includes special issues and focused forums on topics such as The Pacific, Oral History and Australian Generations, Big Data and Australian History, Economic History and History and Heritage. We are delighted then that this issue features a forum on New Histories of Sexuality. It also includes a Commentary on the calls for ‘truth-telling’ about the history of Indigenous Australians under colonisation that underpins the Uluru Statement from the Heart, issued by the First Nations Constitutional Convention on 26 May 2017.' (Kate Darian-Smith and Penelope Edmonds : Editorial introduction)
