Jane's fighting ships. The reference source on naval vessels. Good for a brief summary with all the technical details and profile drawings. This series of 4 volumes is like Jane's an excellent ready reference source of information on naval vessels. Official records The Museum does not hold any official records.
Australian Archives have some.
This book is an excellent guide to their holdings and is also a useful introduction to records held elsewhere. The Australian War Memorial in Canberra has extensive book, manuscript and photo collections relating to Australian service personnel and the campaigns in which they were engaged. Illustrations Illustrated newspapers such as the Illustrated London News , Illustrated Sydney News and Australasian Sketcher provide good quality illustrations. The following indexes compiled by Vaughan Evans make locating a suitable illustration much easier. They can be consulted on our shelves at REF 387.50994 ILL, or you open them as PDF files below.
