IVAN BARKO, The Alliance Française of Sydney between the Two World Wars: A Study in Leadership
In contrast to the Melbourne Alliance, no archives of the Sydney Alliance (either local, including Australian libraries, or at the Paris headquarters) have survived for the period under consideration. The author’s main source for this history was the holdings of the French-language weekly Le Courrier australien which, between 1899 and 1937, described itself as the ‘organ of the Committee of the Alliance Française and the Chamber of Commerce’. Other sources include newspaper articles and correspondence.
Keywords: Alliance Française of Sydney, Alfred Wunderlich, Paul Bonnet, leadership
