Dear Colleagues

I am very pleased to advise on the 110th anniversary of the first
sitting of the Parliament of Australia the complete Hansard of the
Australian Parliament is now available online.  The digitisation of
Hansard from 1901 was undertaken to provide access to the record of the
Parliament which is vital for community awareness and engagement with
the Parliament. 

The digitisation project was undertaken to deliver first the PDFs, which
occurred in mid 2010, and now the eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
versions in 2011. The project was funded by the Department of
Parliamentary Services with support of the Presiding Officers.

A brochure is attached with information on:
*         What is available online;
*         The digitisation project;
*         Hansard search tips;
*         How to report any errors; and
*         Some significant speeches.

I would be grateful if you could pass this information on to anyone you
think might be interested in Hansard online.

Regards
