About Me

I have done large and small oral history projects and pieces of writing, particularly in these areas of Pakeha New Zealand history in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries:
- immigration
- women’s history
- New Zealand’s involvement in the Second World War
- organisation
- social history of war

I have good networks with other historians and oral historians.

I have written 15 books and booklets (some co-authored), as well as article-length pieces, and content for museum and website exhibitions.

I have recorded a large number of oral history projects, covering a wide range of topics. I have a great deal of experience at transcribing and editing interviews for publication, and am also experienced at managing oral history projects.

I have taught many oral history training workshops, and am a capable abstracter and transcriber of oral history interviews. I have some experience editing written work, but am not trained as an editor. I have some experience with digital media and archival and document management.

I am a member (and past president) of the National Oral History Association of New Zealand Te Kete Korero a Waha o te Motu (NOHANZ), and was a member of the Council of the International Oral History Association between 2006-10.

I work to the standards of the NOHANZ Code of Ethical & Technical Practice, and use high-quality digital recording equipment for my interviews.
