1 Originally Historical Studies of Australia and New Zealand, and then just Historical Studies, it has recently become Australian Historical Studies. It now competes with other journals such as Australian Cultural Studies, Journal of Australian Studies and the Australian Journal of Politics and History, as well as those from specialist fields such as Labour History, Aboriginal History, Public History Review and others (see, Australian Historical Association Bulletin, No 84, 1997, pp. 5-29, for a survey of History journals).

3 Penny Russell and Richard White called their edited History of 19th and 20th Australia a pastiche, “not a single story of Australia but … a range of stories which view the past from different angles …a bridge from the seductive authority of older narratives to the fluidity of the histories of today”. See, Russell, P. and White, R. (Eds), 1994, Pastiche 1; Reflections on 19th Century Australia, Sydney, Allen and Unwin, p. ix.
