Through research you can make history. Created by Jenny Cassidy and David Jones, WW1 Researcher: Australia explores six case studies of people who served in the Australian army in WW1. The app gives you an idea of what your research of a local soldier or nurse might look like. Explore the many research links and closely inspect our collection of primary source documents to guide your own research.
The app is a foundation and framework for undertaking your own research. We provide six case studies. The app does not include many different examples as this app is meant to show you how to conduct your own research of local or family stories.
The purpose of this app is to show how research will help your understanding of the ‘Great War’.
You can view examples of primary documents, easily do your own research and share it with others.
It provides an overview of some stories and key battlefronts where Australians fought in WW1.
WW1 Researcher: Australia explores the significance of World War 1 in Australia and is linked to Year 9 History; the Australian Curriculum and the 2017 Victorian Curriculum.
The key concepts of historical sources as evidence, perspectives and empathy are directly linked to local contexts.
Other features of the app include sequencing events chronologically and investigating cause and effect through aspects such as enlistment and the impact of the war on families. The app includes an interactive timeline.
The app encourages the development and application of historical skills through research of local communities in Australia.
