Abstract

This is the first issue of a new journal, the Sydney Journal, which is part of the Dictionary of Sydney Project. The purpose of the journal is to provide an opportunity for a more academic presentation of some of the scholarship being generated by the project, complete with the rigours of academic peer reviewing. In preparing the first issue, it became clear that we wanted also to include a range of the less academic, but no less interesting, work being done on Sydney’s people and suburbs for the project. This first issue contains examples of each of these three types of contribution.
