Hands-on History is the first practical guide to researching and recording history in Australia. The book provides readers with skills in research, writing, using objects and understanding and interpreting historic places. It examines recording history in formats such as publications, oral histories, displays and heritage trails and also contains a number of case studies and creative exercises.

Hands-on History is the ideal manual for local and family historians, museum workers, students, teachers, and anyone who wants to make fun, interesting pieces of history.

Hands-on History has six accompanying lesson plans and can easily be linked to your State curriculum. For more information, or additional payment options, please contact Sue Hodges on 03 9681 8088.
