I put this in another thread at thought it would be appropriate here.  Lots of pretty good information.  If it is already on the list, I'm sorry.

The Australian War Memorial starting putting the Australian Army War Diaries on line a while ago but they have recently passed the 300,000 scanned document mark. These diaries includes day by day accounts of unit activities at the Battalion, Brigade and higher headquarters levels.

There are still quite a few documents left to put online (give them a break, there are only 17,000 paper files to digitise), but all of the key items are there and this have evolved into an excellent research source.

For posterity, while I have them in my IE favorites these are some good sites for modders who are looking for alternative warship art. Unfortunately I lost all my other alternative warship art sites when I did a fresh install of windows last.

Yep, with the large flash drives available these days its really easy to do. I personally use a 250 GB USB drive to back everything up, its the same size as my physical HD so it works out nicely.
