About this Website

This Website was created by Katie Mills, History Masters student at the Australian National University and director of Millturn IT. Note it is a personal project and not affiliated with the ANU. Please email me with suggestions about content to add. It a tribute to my great-great aunt, May Mills, whom I researched for my 10 000 word thesis for a Biography unit, under the guidance of Professor Melanie Nolan. It is a work in progress and will be regularly updated as I learn more both about May and about web development!
