AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource

AustLit aims to "be the definitive information resource and research environment for Australian literary, print, and narrative cultures." The project, headed by the University of Queensland, is a collaboration between researchers from a number of Australian universities and the National Library of Australia. Launched in 2000, AustLit offers a rich and authoritative collection of resources for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in Australian literature. These items include lesson plans, online exhibits, essays, and access to over 87,000 full-text resources, including original literature and literary scholarship. Many of these text resources have been digitized or published through the AustLit project; in addition, the project provides links to full-text resources from other websites. While it is impossible to summarize the sheer breadth of resources available via AustLit in this annotation, visitors may want to start by checking out the Explore tab at the top of the site in order to get a sense of the diversity of material available. Here, one will find exhibitions on topics ranging from Asian-Australian children's literature; Australian television writers, 1953- 1977; published and unpublished works from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors (in theBlackWords exhibit); and much more.
