Welcome! My historical interests are on the military side, especially the technological and doctrinal aspects.

Hello Workgroup.

I have a range of interests in North American and Western European history.  I don't want to start new articles in new subject areas, rather I am interested in enhancing subjects which already have articles.  However, because the history coverage is sparse I am finding it difficult to find articles which have been written in subject areas where I have both knowledge and interest.

Hi Richard,
Do your interests include Native American history?  With an interest in the 19th century, I would guess so.

I've been meaning to start some work on biographies of people like Charles Eastman and cover some major events but haven't really gotten around to it.  I'm sure I would be more motivated if I had an enthusiastic collaborator on a few of those.

Hi, all

My name's David Barrett, and I'm a generalist. (Sounds like I'm in one of those self-help groups - and given the opinion of certain "neo" thinkers on the humanities, maybe it is!)

I worked as an editor and designer in book publishing for about 15 years before moving into teaching history and English at high school level in Australia.

If there's an area I specialise in by default, it's probably 20th-century Australian history and its global context, simply because that's what I teach most. But I'm interested in any and all history as long as it doesn't get too economic on me - apologies to all economic historians, but I find that particular field the intellectual equivalent of chewing on a spoonful of dust.

I'm hoping to be able to use my expertise in editing and teaching to add something here, and look forward to working with you all!

Thanks for that, Haydon! I hate breaching etiquette, even if inadvertently.

Cheers!
