Content Pages

Entry

Each Entry can consist of text, images and multimedia items.

Clicking a thumbnail image will open a larger version in a separate window.

Following the body text of an Entry is a list of related entries in the See Also box.

Resources

At the top right of each Entry is a Resources tab that allows you to toggle between the Entry itself and the related Resources, such as digital resources, archival citations and bibliographical references.

Resources are an important part of the eMelbourne site, and we encourage you to explore them. The types of digitised resources you'll find in this area include: artworks, photographs, material culture objects, archival records and transcripts from primary sources.
