The entries are written by academic historians and have been checked by the editor of the Dictionary. It is therefore a credible website for information about key people in Australian history.

[|**Picture Australia**] This is a searchable database of images, photographs and artworks relating to Australia and produced by Australians. For example, it contains images of iconic Australian paintings and photographs of key people and events in Australian history (such as Prime Ministers and World War Two). If using images from this website, be sure to include a caption identifying the subject matter of the images and its creator (e.g. the name of the artist or photographer, and the year the images were produced).

It contains electronic copies of many primary sources of evidence about SA's history, such as diaries, letters, oral histories, photographs, art works, architectural plans, posters, newspaper articles, printed ephemera, maps, and sound recordings. [|**Wikipedia**] An online encyclopedia containing entries about many, many topics. Any internet user can create and edit the entries, so they should be viewed with scepticism. If you want to use information from Wikipedia entries, be sure it has been verified (by looking at the 'history' of edits made to the pages, and by checking where the information came from - i.e. look at the references/footnotes).
