Resources
Mainly reference-style material about the
OTL. Also included is support for those
involved in OT-150 activities.
Library
The OT-150 initiative is commited to generating new research and communications about the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line, the
people who built it, its operations and the impacts it had on Australia. These will build through the year as topic experts turn their minds to the
task. In addition, seminal documents of the times, written by witnesses of the OT are included. Collected here will be a timeless collection of
reference material for those who wish to learn more. OT-150 is committed to publishing in a single book (with downloadable PDF) as much of this
collection as possible. In this way it will become part of our library system and thus remain discoverable, accessible and future-proofed long after
the Sesquicentenary activities are over.
