Retrieving the Record: the White Australia policy, citizenship education and new applications for archival research

该项目将开发一些模式，以便在公民和公民教育方面更有效地利用澳大利亚国家档案馆的资源。利用档案馆的资源，该团队将制作一部关于白澳政策的新历史，它将发展成为一个公共展示和论坛，展示档案材料如何阐明民主进程的复杂性。补充研究将探讨在档案、公民教育和教师专业形成之间建立更强的制度联系的前景。好处包括加深对移民、澳大利亚政治历史、教育策略以及档案馆的作用和资源的了解。

This project will develop models for making more effective use of the resources of the National Archives of Australia within civics and citizenship education. Using the resources of the Archives, the team will produce a new history of the White Australia policy, which will be developed into a public display and forum, showing how archival materials can illuminate the complexities of the democratic process. Supplementary research will investigate prospects for making stronger institutional connections between the Archives, citizenship education and teachers' professional formation. Benefits include increased understanding of immigration, Australian political history, educational strategies and the Archives' role and resources.
