Australian Dictionary Of Biography A-Ch 1891 - 1939 Volume 7
Edited by Bede Nairn & Geoffrey Serle
Published by Melbourne University Press: New South Wales 1979 1st Edition

"The Australian Dictionary of Biography: A-Ch, 1891-1939, Volume 7, edited by Bede Nairn and Geoffrey Serle, is part of the landmark national reference series documenting the lives of Australians who shaped the nation's social, political, and cultural history. This volume covers individuals whose surnames fall between A and Ch, focusing on the period from Federation through the interwar years. It contains meticulously researched entries on politicians, artists, scientists, clergy, soldiers, entrepreneurs, reformers, and others who played influential roles in shaping modern Australia. Each biography is crafted from primary sources and scholarly interpretation, presenting a balance of factual accuracy and narrative depth.

The period 1891-1939 was marked by profound change, including the emergence of the Commonwealth, World War I, the Depression, and the cultural evolution of a young nation. This volume reflects the breadth of Australian society in those years, giving voice not only to prominent leaders but also to lesser-known figures whose contributions helped define Australia's identity. The entries illustrate how individuals interacted with the challenges of their times—nation-building, war service, economic hardship, and social reform—making the work an invaluable resource for understanding Australia's development during the first decades of the 20th century.
