Q ANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation

Q ANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation was a five-year program of legacy initiatives commemorating the centenary of the First World War. The project was a joint initiative between the Queensland Government and the Anzac Centenary Public Fund, and State Library of Queensland.

A range of research fellowships were offered as part of Q ANZAC 100 to uncover new insights about the Queensland experience of the First World War and its aftermath. More information on the fellows and their research projects below and explore our Anzac Square & Memorial Galleries

Dr Anastasia Dukova 

Anastasia’s project, Queensland Police and the Great War Effort, sought to connect the police and war service stories of the men who left the Queensland Police Force (QPF) to volunteer in the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) from 1914 to 1918.

Elaine Acworth 

Elaine’s project, Put out into the deep, sought to develop an audio theatre piece around Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS) personnel. In 1942, these women intercepted, deciphered, and decoded encrypted Japanese military messages, providing vital intelligence to the Australian war effort. State Library collections lent depth to the aural landscape of the project and offered fresh ways to engage with our city’s historical landscape.

Deborah Terranova 

Deborah’s project, Queensland Women and War: a multicultural perspective of the experiences of female civilians during World War II, endeavoured to identify and collate experiences of Queensland women during the Second World War from a multicultural perspective. She focused on the experiences of women who were deemed enemy aliens under the National Security Act (1939) and examined the impacts on their families and the communities in which they lived.
