bibliography
While it covers the same period (1788-1972) as Muir's two-volume bibliography, published in 1970 and 1976, this work is described by the author as 'not just an updated edition' of the earlier work. It involved an 'integration and revision' of the two original volumes as well as the incorporation of new material. Muir worked in close co-operation with Kerry White, author of the companion volume, Australian Children's Books : A Bibliography : Volume Two 1973-1988, ensuring a 'common process of arrangement, description, and so on' and a uniformity of 'standards, methods and definitions.

Digital Curation, AustLit, and Australian Children's Literature
2019
single work
criticism
— Appears in: International Research in Children's Literature , July vol. 12 no. 1 2019; (p. 1-17)'This paper examines the effects of curatorial processes used to develop children's literature digital research projects in the bibliographic database AustLit. Through AustLit's emphasis on contextualising individual works within cultural, biographical, and critical spaces, Australia's literary history is comprehensively represented in a unique digital humanities space. Within AustLit is BlackWords, a project dedicated to recording Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytelling, publishing, and literary cultural history, including children's and young adult texts. Children's literature has received significant attention in AustLit (and BlackWords) over the last decade through three projects that are documented in this paper. The curation of this data highlights the challenges in presenting ‘national’ literatures in countries where minority voices were (and perhaps continue to be) repressed and unseen. This paper employs a ‘resourceful reading’ approach – both close and distant reading methods – to trace the complex and ever-evolving definition of ‘Australian children's literature’.'
