Both a hacker and a historian, Tim’s work embodies technical ingenuity with true curiosity and insight : his work shines as a living and breathing advertisement to the newly established field of digital humanities.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending some of Tim’s insightful yet accessible talks on digital history. I was also part of a fun practical workshop that examined tools that help us unearth insights from historical and archival data-sets on the Web. I’ve learnt a lot from both experiences, and is overall very generous with his advice.

His tools act as exemplars of what is possible, as well as being massively useful in their own right.

His enthusiasm is infectious and he is generous with his advice, enabling family and local historians around Australia to take advantage of his work.
