Assessment item 1: Primary Document Collection You must answer three (3) of the following topics. This exercise is in two parts. To answer each question you must: ● Submit a primary document relevant to each topic. ● Explain the relevance of the primary document to the topic with a short discussion of no more than 350 words. Format for primary document exercise: 1. Your primary document may be anything which constitutes a primary source – a photograph, a cartoon, a political speech, an advertisement, a magazine articleor whatever – as long as it is relevant. 2. However, it must constitute no more than a single A4 size page. 3. The primary document must be fully referenced with the original date, author and source as well as, where relevant, the secondary source where you found it. If you have access to old magazines or popular books from the postwar period you may find these useful sources for finding appropriate primary documents. You will also notice that most secondary sources cite primary sources. Although their citation of documentarymaterial may be too truncated for your purposes, they often use photographs and political cartoons as illustrations which may be relevant to your selectedtopic/s. More and more primary source material is being digitised and made available online. Try searching under Picture Australia and the National Archives. The site Australian History on the Internet has lots more useful links to libraries, archives and museums. Just remember if you do find material to record the bibliographic details accurately and follow the internet referencing guidelines presented earlier in the introductory material. There are also published collections of primary documents available from the library [944]. The topics follow the course modules but as well as your textbook and recommended readings you may need to do more specialist reading before you have a confident command of the subject to answer adequately. That is why a wide choice of specialist readings has been included for each question. Your 350-word discussion must be fully referenced, acknowledging any secondary sources used. Each discussion must have at least two references (plus your reference for the primary document). Presentation For each question you should have the topic title on a cover page, then the primary document on the second page and then your 350 words on p. 3. If you use several references, you may need a 4th page for your list of references. You will need to do that for each of the three (3) topics. Where you have a brief primary document, it HIS2000 – Contemporary Australia © University of Southern Queensland 20 would be acceptable to have the full topic and your document underneath on the one page but there should be a clear demarcation between the document and your discussion.
