Editorial
This is the first edition of the online version of The History Teacher, QHTA's long-standing professional journal. The decision to move to electronic delivery of The History Teacher was taken after much serious discussion, and not without pangs of regret. |

| Vol.45, No.1, August 2007 |
|
| For years, the publishing of the print version of the journal has swallowed up the bulk of the subscription monies receibed by QHTA, so there were pressing financial reasons for the change. But, like so many other organisations, QHTA also recognised the positive advantages of electronic delivery. The journal can also include visual images in greater numbers and of higher quality, including colour photographs. In this initial edition, the article on 'Anzac Square' demonstrates this by its inclusion of eighteen colour photographs. In future editions, this potential will be exploited more fully. There's also a clear environmental benefit from electronic publishing, obviating the need for printing, collating and mailing about 25,000 pages each edition. For the reader, there's the ease of simply ignoring the electronic link to any article that is not of special interest - no waste of paper there. |
|
|
| Still, it's likely that many readers will miss the familiar printed journal. Like a book or a newspaper, a printed journal offers such handy portability. The new format will ask readers to become used to printing favourite articles to achieve that same portability. But the new journal - with its print-ready pdf format - will also make it so easy to add articles and teaching resources to the collections that virtually every teacher now stores on his or her computer. And printing the pdf's should prove easier than manipulating the printed magazine at the photocopier. |
|
|
| All of this has been made possible by the expertise and energy of Glenn Davies, who has turned the basic Word files into the pdf-format journal you now see. Huge thanks to Glenn |
