Chronology Writers Wanted
Adam Matthew Digital, a publisher of primary source collections will be releasing a collection of documents online under the title Frontier Life, Borderlands, Settlement & Colonial Encounters later this year. The documents within aim to shed light on some of the Anglophone settler/colonial frontiers in North America, southern Africa and Australasia and will be used by scholars and students in their research. The dates of the documents range from 1650-1920.
Find out more about the work we do at www.amdigital.co.uk and more about this project at www.amdigital.co.uk/m-collections/collection/frontier-life/ or see the information below.
We are looking to accompany and contextualise the documents with an interactive chronology hence are looking for those with a knowledge of these regions and the theme to write timelines.
So if you have an interest and knowledge of colonial, frontier or settler history and feel able to write a set of chronology entries for any of the regions below, please get in touch.
North America
Africa
Australia & New Zealand
There is a fee available for the writing of each timeline. We envisage this to be roughly a day’s work in terms of writing and research.
If you’re interested and would like more information about any of the above, please contact Felix Barnes at felix@amdigital.co.uk with a few sentences on your credentials by 28 March.
