PRIME
MINISTERS OF AUSTRALIA
Australia has had twenty-five Prime Ministers since
Federation in 1901. The Prime Ministers of
Australia CD ROM, produced for the National
Museum of Australia by Interactive Multimedia Pty
Ltd, has details about all of them: their lives and
the times in which they lived.
Designed
for use by primary and secondary students, Prime
Ministers of Australia reviews major issues and
events in Australia's political history since
Federation. The Prime Ministers of a particular
period provide the focus for the history of the
time. Contemporary sources on the CD ROM including
film, sound, photographs, cartoons and newspaper
articles provide evidence.
Biographical
details of each Prime Minister, official portraits
and other details are included. Text by Australian
historian Ian Howie Willis.
Originally
produced in 1995 for the National Museum of
Australia and the Parliamentary Education Office,
Prime Ministers of Australia has been updated and
now includes details of Australia's current Prime
Minister, John Howard. A powerful search facility
has been added, and profiles can be printed or
saved as text.
