In citing unpublished sources History Australia uses the style pioneered by Australian Historical Studies. In the first citation the general rule is to cite the document first, followed by the file number and the name of the collection, then the name and location of the archive.

Supplementary material

Endnotes can include comment and supplementary material. This material can refer to secondary source material, when, for example, you wish to direct the reader to secondary sources not directly cited in your article. Note that any reference to secondary source material in endnotes must follow the author-date system as detailed below. The source referenced here must also be cited fully in the list of references to published sources; see below.

[1] See Anderson (1992 p. 6) for the concept that communities are distinguished by the style in which they are imagined.

Repeated references to the same source

When a number of successive references are made to a single source without an intervening reference to another source, use ibid.; or ibid., p.X. When other references intervene, use a suitable short title, such as 'Hobbs interview', or 'Booth Tragowell Journal'.

Reference list of primary and/or unpublished sources

This list can contain both single documents and archival collections, as appropriate. Examples might include: Contemporary newspapers The Age, 1910–1916.

Robin Boyd described the Australian home as a 'material triumph and an aesthetic calamity', his first task was to evoke the Australian suburb (Boyd 1977 pp.13–14). More recently, Patrick Troy, editor of A History of European Housing in Australia, also placed housing history within an urban context (Troy 2000).

Sarah Stephen (1984) has shown how the bohemianism of Australian painters and writers of the late nineteenth century conveyed a touch of excitement, glamour, and a little danger to thrill-seeking art patrons. Richard White 1981 (pp.88–96) has demonstrated how bohemianism reinforced claims of late nineteenth century artists and writers to be treated as professional artists.

This position is at variance with the commonly accepted view of the Menzies government infected with Cold War hysteria and prepared to go to any lengths to meet 'the communist threat' (Cain, Farrell 1984).

French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu 1993 (pp.29–73) has shown how the illusion of artistic independence from economic values can actually make the work more valuable to consumers [...] By adopting the bohemian identity the artists declared themselves rich in what Bourdieu called cultural capital, innately gifted and déclassé, surmounting their origins and obscuring the humdrum business of earning their daily bread (pp.43, 68–73).

In the study of Egyptian literature, later texts that depict social chaos and express pessimism have often been used to reconstruct the earlier First Intermediate Period, thought to be their referent (Wilson 1969a p.441; Wilson 1969b p.405; Wilson 1969c p.467).
