> Periodicals and novels published in Australia during the period 1840-45 are
> now freely accessible online via the World Wide Web.
> These works - digitised as part of the ARC funded Australian Cooperative
> Digitisation Project 1840-45 - provide a record of a seminal period in the
> development of Australian colonial culture.
> The project has been a collaborative initiative between the University of
> Sydney Library, the National Library of Australia and the State Library of
> New South Wales. The project sought to preserve and provide enhanced
> access to these scarce works through an integrated method of microfilming
> and digital conversion. The partners investigated and developed - in
> conjunction with industry contractors - a production process which would
> enable this work to be carried out as seamlessly and effectively as
> possible. The need to address and test production specifications with a
> goal of generating the highest quality images prolonged the project beyond
> initial planning dates. More information about the project is available
> through the Project website at http://www.nla.gov.au/acdp/
> Periodical publications and novels are accessible by following the links
> listed below, or directly through records in Kinetica, the national
> bibliographic database. Where necessary specific help instructions are
> available at each site, and feedback can be sent using the facilities
> provided.
