Abstract

This article describes a free, online resource developed in conjunction with a second-year subject taught at a university in regional Australia. It examines the foundations of that subject, the ambitions of the resource developed, and the afterlife of an Open Educational Resource (OER) developed for a subject that has since been disestablished. It discusses the potential of digital public history, analyzing the opportunities for (and obstructions to) publishing in non-traditional formats.
