I have access to the following resources. See Fair dealing § Australia for guidelines on what I can share. Leave a message on my talk page or email me if you think I can help with resource access.
If you are looking for a specific item (e.g. a journal/newspaper article or book chapter), I recommend requesting it at Resource Request as more editors are watching that page. Also visit WP:SHARED for resources available through other Wikipedians.
Libraries
[edit]The Wikipedia Library is available to Wikipedians who meet the minimum editing criteria.
Australian residents can join the National Library of Australia and their respective state library for access to on-site and electronic resources.
I have access to:
- State Library Victoria – not a lending library
- RMIT University Library – alumni membership
- Online resources – limited selection, I will generally try SLV first
- Physical books available for loan – catalogue
Australian newspapers
[edit]Visit Trove for digitised Australian newspapers published between 1803 and 1955.
As of October 2024[update] I have paid subscriptions to:
And through library memberships:
Australian LGBTQ+ periodicals
[edit]I work part-time at the Australian Queer Archives. Our holdings include an extensive collection of Australian LGBTQ+ periodicals, many of them defunct. A selection of these have been digitised for the GALE Archives of Sexuality and Gender collection, which is available online through Australian national and state library memberships (but not through The Wikipedia Library, as far as I can tell).
AQuA's catalogue is not fully online yet, so contact me if you have a query about obscure or defunct Australian LGBTQ+ periodicals.
Books
[edit]Not yet catalogued, but my eclectic home library covers topics including:
- Australian history
- British and European history
- Church history
- Christian theology (catholic, mainline protestant, ecumenical, feminist, and queer)
- History of medicine
- History of computing
