The textbooks will be available in late 2021.

Our past is not one story, but many stories, entangled and interwoven

Developed specifically for the new VCE Study Design, Analysing Australian History is the first series of resources to cover every historical investigation and all the requirements of the new VCE Australian History syllabus.

The series draws on a wide range of compelling historical sources and activities to explore key themes in our past and captivate students with the various continuities and changes in Australian history.

15 practising teachers from government and non-government schools and key academics have authored this series and are led by Emeritus Professor Richard Broome and leading History teacher Ashley Keith Pratt, both experienced textbook writers and members of the History Teachers Association of Victoria.

The Analysing Australian History textbooks include:

• an accessible interpretation of the new study design to nurture a genuine enthusiasm for Australian History while comprehensively covering all curriculum objectives
• an extensive range of primary historical sources, analysis activities, historical intrepretations and recent historiographical research across both Area of Study 1: Foundations and Area of Study 2: Transformations
• relevant and engaging content reviewed by a range of notable academics, teachers and high-profile Indigenous scholars with a key focus on the clarity of language used, and the appropriateness of content from an Indigenous perspective
• activities and questions designed to support students in their pursuit of a deep understanding of Australian history and to extend their knowledge of Australian history taught in previous years
• exceptional exam and assessment preparation support including source-based and other exam-style questions and plenty of tools for revision.
