Digital Archive

Australian Media History Database

Administered by the CMH, the Australian Media History Database is an archived portal for all aspects of research into the history of the media in Australia. It aimed to alert researchers - from industry, academe and the wider community - to current work being undertaken in the field, and to direct them to relevant resources across Australia.

The AMHD has two components:

• A database of researchers currently working on projects about the history of Australian newspapers, magazines, radio, television, film, advertising, music and games. The Researcher Database is searchable by title and researcher name.
• Listings of relevant research resources, including libraries, archives, online resources, indexes, professional associations, courses and events.
