Primary Sources for opening of Sydney Harbour Bridge

Over the past week there have been a number of students seeking primary sources relating to the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Primary source articles can be found in the reference title:

R 079.94/Tel Over One Hundred & Fifteen years of news from the Daily Telegraph Mirror.

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. This is a brilliant resource for those seeking primary source material and in this instance provides numerous full text articles.
