The aim of Australian Stories is to encourage access to evaluated online resources about Australian culture.
We are committed to publishing accurate and relevant Australian Stories. We publish Australian Stories authored both in-house and on a commissioned basis. Tendering and selection of authors is undertaken with procedures that are compliant with the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines, 2005.
The style used in Australian Stories is set out in the Culture and Recreation Portal Style Guide (work in progress), August 2008 (PDF, 84KB)
The development of Australian Stories is an iterative and on-going process. In the next twelve months we propose to continue to develop Stories in identified gap areas as well as popular categories, similar to those categories identified in the Portal's Website Collection Policy.
We rely on our readers to alert us to newly published research and online resources to help keep the Portal's Australian Stories up-to-date.
The Portal
welcomes contributions from readers about existing Australian Stories,
as well as ideas for new Australian Stories. Please email contributions to the Stories Editor, StoriesEditor at culture dot gov dot au.
