The Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand  History

The Journal is supported by the School of Humanities, James Cook University.

The Journal was founded in 1996, with the support of the Australian Vice-Chancellor's Committee (AVCC) to explore the feasibility of networked scholarly communication. Since then it has evolved to become a peer reviewed forum serving H-ANZAU, H-Net's network for the history of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Membership of H-ANZAU is open professional historians, graduate students, teachers, librarians and people interested in the history of our two countries. To join the network, please apply for subscription through the H-Net site at http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~anzau/ The Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History publishes research outcomes, resources, and information of interest to the H-ANZAU Network. Reviews of Books and history in digital hypermedia are published in association with H-Review, H-Net's international review program. We are also also a member of the International Consortium for the Advancement of Academic Publishing (ICAAP), through which the journal reaches a wide international audience.
