Australia and the Vietnam War: Looking Back
Reading time: 10 minutes

How has a half-century of controversy, reflection and research affected presentations of the war for general audiences, such as the 18-hour documentary seriesĀ The Vietnam WarĀ by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and the British historian Max Hastingsās bookĀ Vietnam: An epic tragedy, 1945ā1975?
PUTIN’S PAST: The Return of Ideological History and the Strongman
Reading time: 8 minutes
From Russian Constitutional Court chairman Valery Zorkin, to former Russian culture minister Vladimir Medinsky, to presidential adviser Yuri Kovlachuk, amateur history is everywhere in the Russian government today. This is not an accident but a deliberate way to build official state ideology in Russia. For instance, in a recent interview discussing Russiaās invasion of Ukraine, the deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council, Oleg Khramov,Ā saidĀ that the West is trying āto stop the course of historyā by āblindingā many Ukrainians to the historical truth of their shared civilizational identity with Russia.

Why archaeology is so much more than justĀ digging
Reading time: 5 minutes
People invariably want to hear about skeletons, pots and bits of shiny metal. Itās this type of stuff that you will often see in the media, giving the misleading impression that archaeological process is only about excavation.
While the trowel and spade are an important inclusion in the archaeological toolkit, our core disciplinary definition ā that of using humanityās material remains to understand our history ā means that we utilise many ways of engaging with this past.

Reading time: 4 minutes
The 16th and 17th centuries were a notably litigious period in British history. New rights, wealth and obligations had to be protected through legal transactions ā and that needed documentation.

What Australiaās convict past reveals about women, men, marriage andĀ work
Reading time: 5 minutes
It is not the presence of convicts that matters, but the drastic distortion in the ratio of men to women that came with it. Convict men outnumbered convict women by roughly six to one. These numbers were even more skewed at the start of settlement. Convicts were joined by free migrants, especially in the second half of the 19th century, whose numbers also skewed heavily male. The ratio of men to women was consistently skewed in favour of males in Australia until the start of the first world war.

How the Gunpowder Treason was discovered
Reading time: 9 minutes
On the night of 4 November 1605, a man calling himself John Johnson was found in the vaults beneath the House of Lords with 36 barrels of gunpowder. Under questioning, Johnson ā whose real name was Guy Fawkes ā admitted that he and his co-conspirators planned to use the gunpowder to blow up the House during the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November. If successful, this plot ā which became known as the Gunpowder Treason, or Gunpowder Plot ā would have killed not only King James I (and VI) but members of his family, his chief ministers, and the Members of Parliament in attendance at the state opening. This was treason on an unprecedented scale ā an attempt to destroy both the king and his government.

How didĀ 4th-centuryĀ Roman coins end up in a medieval JapaneseĀ castle?
Reading time: 5 minutes
Katsuren CastleĀ in Okinawa Prefecture is said to have been occupied between the 12th to 15th centuries so the coins cannot represent commercial links between the castleās contemporaries and the Roman empire, which had fallen centuries before. Other finds from the castle indicate trade links with China ā so perhaps the coins arrived there as curios, indirectly through trade with China or South-East Asia.
The Chatterley Trial 60 years on: a court case that secured free expression in 1960s Britain
Reading time: 6 minutes
The paperback copy of Lady Chatterleyās Lover pictured above is of great cultural significance. Leafing through the pages one discovers hidden gems: pencil markings, underlinings, marginal annotations. Accompanying the book are sheets of headed stationery from the Old Bailey, containing handwritten notes relating to the novel along with a clumsily hand-stitched fabric bag ā apparently made not to protect the book but rather the person carrying it by obscuring its title.
