Mostly out of self-interest, we love to help people enhance their research skills, and thus advance knowledge of Australiana. Almost everyone will recognise themselves in this story. Art historian Stephen Scheding had lots of information on artists but needed to organise it, so he created an archive. Then he made his research material available to others via a free searchable archive on the internet at 'artresearch.com.au' Here’s how he did it, and how you can contribute.
