Australian historians: has anyone researched the Albanian community in Australia, Victoria, agriculture or the Yarra Valley in the late 1920s early 1930s? I've got some content in diaries I am transcribing and would like to provide my client with additional context. I've got a little from MV 🤷‍♀️

Lovely visit today to MOCA – the newly opened Museum of Chinese in Australia in the old Haymarket Library in Sydney. If you’re nearby, pop in and have a look at their taster exhibition, which features stories of families and businesses from Sydney’s Chinatown!

#historians - looking for any sources, primary or secondary, on controlling migration to Australia, during the first half of the 20th century, at port of departure (ie discouraging or preventing potential migrants from travelling to Australia), rather than at port of entry. #OzHist 🗃️

There’s valuable information recorded in Chinese on Tasmania’s old Chinese headstones that is gradually disappearing, like on Claude Nam Shing’s headstone in Cornelian Bay Cemetery. I’ve worked out some of the characters, but not all of them. Any thoughts, clever people? 🗃️ #EverdayHeritage

This is in a new history of Aus, written by an academic. There were Jewish quotas. There were interviews so that immigration officers could make sure that no Jews were included in the 170,000 DPs. "The Holocaust" was not yet a thing.
