Acknowledgments
Like all good public history this was a collective effort and we have many people who contributed in different ways to thank.
We would like to thank La Trobe Making History students, past and present, for their care, courage, creativity and community spirit demonstrated through this non-traditional assessment task that we know many of you initially feared doing. The past is in good hands with these future historians.
We would like to thank La Trobe Archaeology and History department colleagues, past and present, especially previous coordinators of the subject, for the collegiality and inspiration. The inspiration for this text came from your incredible work with communities as well as our past students’ work and a desire to share this with the world and help others adopt similar practices.
We would like to thank our peer reviewers Caroline Wallace and Michael McDonnell for their generous feedback that helped us create a stronger book.
We would like to thank the La Trobe eBureau, and in particular Steven Chang and Sebastian Kainey, for letting us do things a little bit differently through experimenting with iterative publishing, and for their constant help, support, and ideas. Clare would also like to thank Georgia Tsioukis from the Library for their ideas and support in shaping/structuring the Publishing public history chapter.
We would like to thank you, our readers, and hope you’re able to find something in here that will help you with your studies and/or future history making practices in the academy, museums, libraries, archives, galleries, historical societies, schools, policy and beyond
