• Investigating John Curtin: the research papers of Tom Fitzgerald
  Tom Fitzgerald, respected economist and journalist, planned to write a biography of John Curtin but became so enmeshed in his investigations that the work was still in progress when he died in 1993. His research papers provide new and intriguing insights into Curtin the 'inner man' as well as Curtin the prime minister. This web resource explores the research papers and the life and work of Tom Fitzgerald.
• Alex McCallum: An extraordinary Western Australian
  The State of Western Australia would have been the poorer without Alex McCallum's contribution in the first four decades of the twentieth century - as a union leader, Cabinet Minister and head of the Agricultural Bank. Alex McCallum was an important mentor, colleague and long-time friend of John Curtin and the McCallum papers provide fascinating insights into this 'Yeoman of the Labor Guard', a man of 'forceful personality and outstanding ability'.
