The WA Museum website contains many resources that may be useful for teachers and students studying Marine and Maritime Studies in Years 11 & 12 at Western Australian schools.

Sometimes these resources are hard to find so we have collated them here for you according to the topics covered in the "history and archaeology" strands for each of the four units.
