About Me

I have had a career in knowledge and information management, training as an information professional after working in scientific and technical publishing. I have qualifications and research experience in the sciences, education and social sciences and have published numerous research papers and delivered a number of conference presentations. I have recently published a book on the demography of nineteenth century NZ education and a book about the Cambridge Distirct High School 1880-1888. I am currently working on a book documenting the district high schools in NZ in the nineteenth century.
