This free webinar facilitated by the National Library of Australia will seriously level up your students’ research game!

Whether your students are keen to prepare for Seriously Social’s Great Student Debate, or ready to delve into Trove for incredible primary source research, this webinar will get your students thinking and ready to research.

Students will have the opportunity to observe objects closely via the screen, interact using Q&A, and will be invited to suggest search terms for navigating the Library’s catalogue.

The end of the session will include an invitation to access Trove to continue researching the 2025 debate topic ‘That Australian History unites us’.

This program takes place over Zoom, and your camera will be hidden. You can contribute ideas and questions to the conversation by typing into the Q&A and chat function.

This program is targeted towards students in senior secondary school, and is held in partnership with Seriously Social, an initiative of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, for Social Sciences Week 2025.

A recording of the session will be made available after the event.

The Opalgate Foundation supports this webinar as part of the National Library’s ‘Lifelong Learning initiative’.
