Searching for Literature which

refers to American Australians

 

The Australian Society of American Descendants (ASAD) is keen to locate new sources of literature regarding Americans who have been included as part of Australia 's history.

 

 

 

ASAD would therefore appreciate any information relating to American-Australians for inclusion in its literature list and to use as a further tool in the discovery of new information and preservation of such.
