Bio: Andrew May is an Australian urban historian. His research and teaching interests reach across cultural landscapes, material culture, public history, municipal government, missionaries, and Australian social history generally. As a principal editor of and major contributor to The Encyclopedia of Melbourne, he guided that project’s development from the mid 1990s to its publication by Cambridge University Press in 2005. His interests in multimedia have seen him involved in the development of history in new media formats, including Melbourne Podtours, eGold, Pathways to the Past (a learning module on using images as historical evidence), and eMelbourne (the Encyclopedia of Melbourne in online format). Andrew has served on advisory committees of the National Trust, City of Melbourne, Public Record Office Victoria, Heritage Victoria, State Library of Victoria, Melbourne Immigration Museum, Royal Historical Society of Victoria, Melbourne Museum, and the National Archives of Australia. He currently serves as on the executive of the Australian Historical Association, as is a Board Member of Australian Historical Studies. In 2006 he was awarded the ‘Individual Contribution to Profile’ award in the City of Melbourne’s ‘Melbourne Awards’. |
