Letters of a Nation - Australia Post

This is a good site for history students and anyone looking for PRIMARY source materials https://200years.auspost.com.au/html/loan/archive/
Part of Australia Post's Letters of a Nation campaign, they have developed an online archive that will preserve all letter submissions and act as a resource tool for generations to come.

The original letters have been loaded up, and with transcripts, so you can read them. They are organised in time periods eg 1850-1899 or 1920-1930 and by general topics like sport or war.

Primary source articles can be found in the reference title:

Also it is worth while suggesting that students join the State Library of NSW (this can be done online) which will then allow them access to the Times Digital Archive database.
