Historymatrix is the electronic journal of public historian Bruce Baskerville, BA (Hons) (W Aust), DipFHS, APHA.
I maintain Historymatrix for publication of my work in a variety of fields of historical inquiry so as to make this work available to other historians and researchers, and to the public generally.
I am not currently available for commissioned historical work.
Feedback and comments can be sent to me by clicking here. Otherwise, enjoy reading Historymatrix, and visiting and exploring my website.
