- Introducing History Service – Local History
The phrase “think global, act local” has been attributed to Scots town planner and social activist Patrick Geddes. The idea encapsulates the vision of Dr Buch for Queensland social histories. Most local historians fail to see the interconnections between the geographical scales and migrating cultural values across the sphere. Too many local histories read as static snapshots, isolated pieces of fluff divorced from the larger fabric of life.

THE SCHOLARSHIP
The above announcement is a piece of satire. Like all satire, there is a grain of truth. People sometimes do not get satire, so I will explain. Public history was once supported by public institutions. Under the narrative of neo-liberal economies, public history is now expected to be supported by the market. The problem, as explained by the best and honest economists, is that there are some areas of society that are not meant to be placed on the market, those areas that can never be ‘efficient’ (in reality) through competition policy. Researched education, learning and scholarship, is one of those areas.
Since neo-liberal politicians have won the day, those of us who are professional humanities and social science workers have been forced into a choice, with the exception in the paper-thin token number of colleagues, luck enough to have one of the very few positions still open at universities, or other public institutions. We are forced to choose to abandon our careers in professional research, even as we have proved ourselves in higher degrees and quality publications, OR we place our services to the marketplace, until the day returns when we are sufficiently employed back in the public sphere.
The grain of truth in the above satire piece is that I will provide a history service for a price, negotiable around the Professional Historians Australia fee scale. The other business option is lobbying for the return of public funding levels to public institutions for the sufficient employment of professional researchers.

- Introducing History Service – Educated Society & Geographic History
Commonly within any society, there are sites where learning occurs, what we recognise as educational institutions — schools, universities, and places of adult & community education. Examining the local geography in Queensland we can identify clusters of such sites and from such patterns over time, we can recognise the evolution of an educated society. Therefore, we will have the groundwork for explanations on the strengths and weaknesses in Queensland being an educated society.

- Introducing History Service – Network & Schema History
Network history is the explanations that follow from the use in concept mapping. The term “schema” was prominently discussed in philosophy by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). The term was introduced into psychology by Jean Piaget in 1923, and was developed as educational psychology by Richard C. Anderson.

- Introducing History Service – Civil Society & Political History
One might think, in the modern world, that the civil society is a state of pretence, or a hollow existence, or a utopian ideal. This is because civil society is conceived in political theory. Modern politics is too often the antithesis of the civil society with plotting, scheming, and other Machiavellian forms of partisan action.
