The Australian Women's Register

The Doris Chadwick Collection comprises school magazines and texts, primary readers, curriculum and syllabus material, plus reference material for both students and teachers. The material originates from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Great Britain and the United States, with publication dates ranging from the 1890s to the late 1960s. Nearly 5000 items are included in total. Many of the texts and readers are representative of the types used by Australian state Departments of Education (or Departments of Public Instruction). This collection represents a valuable source of information for research into the history of school education in Australia
