Cultural Advice

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains names, images, and voices of deceased persons.

In addition, some articles contain terms or views that were acceptable within mainstream Australian culture in the period in which they were written, but may no longer be considered appropriate.

These articles do not necessarily reflect the views of The Australian National University.

Older articles are being reviewed with a view to bringing them into line with contemporary values but the original text will remain available for historical context.

In it you will find transcripts of Malcolm Turnbull’s speech at the launch of The ADB’s Story and Gareth Evans’s speech at the launch of Barry Jones’s Dictionary of World Biography. Both books were published this year by the NCB in association with ANU E Press. We also discuss the obituaries of the first two servicemen killed in World War I and a new online project being developed by the NCB which will enable users to retrace the paths of explorers in an innovative way.
