The past meeting the present.
The clever use of multimedia technologies can help bring local history to life for your students. Foundation Day, June 1st, could provide a good jumping off point to explore a few of these sites celebrating the successful integration of multimedia technologies and local history studies.
Heritage Perth Trails allows users to complete a virtual tour of significant heritage buildings in the Perth City Center, learning about their history, architectural information and current location and use. Or download the audio files and listen to them as you explore the city in real time.
- The Western Australian Museum - WA Land and People Virtual Exhibition. This interactive Flash site includes extensive audio and video files. A highly recommended resource.

A place where you can put your feet up, settle back and explore at your leisure a range of exciting multimedia experiences showcasing the State Library’s unique collections, past exhibitions and events.
