Living with natural disasters
Has your local community experienced a natural disaster? What happened? How has it been remembered?
2. Choose your theme
Making History is structured around four themes that relate to historical inquiry. Each theme reflects a significant part of Museum Victoria’s collection. You will find lots of helpful advice from experts and historians by watching the videos in these sections. Your digital history will focus on one of these themes.
The following questions will help you choose your theme.
World events, local impacts
What world events are part of your community’s past? How have these events been remembered?
Cultural identity
Our heritage as individuals and as a nation has an impact on our cultural identity. Where do you come from? What connections to place and people, stories of cultural identity and/or migration can you find in your community?
Family and community life
Do you know your family or community's story? Who can you talk to? What can you look at? What questions do you ask?
