  • The Dictionary of Australian Biography, published in 1949, is a reference work by Percival Serle containing information on notable people associated with Australian history. With approximately a thousand entries, the book took more than twenty years to complete. Published by Angus and Robertson, the dictionary was compiled as two volumes, Volume 1: A-K; and Volume 2: L-Z. The book contains 1,030 biographies of Australians, or people who were closely connected with Australia, who died before the end of 1942. According to Serle in his preface: "This date closed the first one hundred and fifty years of Australia's history, for although the first fleet arrived in January 1788, the first emigrant ship, the Bellona, did not come until January 1793. Until then Australia had been merely a dumping ground for convicts, but the arrival of free emigrants foreshadowed the founding of a nation." — Percival Serle, 1949 (en)

Until then Australia had been merely a dumping ground for convicts, but the arrival of free emigrants foreshadowed the founding of a nation. » —  Pervical Serle, 1949 « Cette date clôt les cent cinquante premières années de l'histoire de l'Australie, car bien que la première flotte soit arrivée en janvier 1788, le premier navire d'émigration, le Bellona, n'est arrivé qu'en janvier 1793. Jusqu'alors, l'Australie n'avait été qu'une terre pour les condamnés, mais l'arrivée d'émigrants libres préfigurait la fondation d'une nation. » (fr)
