A good index allows the content of a book to become accessible.

A quality index is designed with the reader in mind,

with careful choice of concepts and sub-headings.

​

My passion for words includes building indexes, specialising in family histories.

(The challenge of all those people of the same surname is its own reward.)

​

Indexes I have created include those for the following publications:

• The legacy of John Headlam of Egleston, Macquarie River, Tasmania (2016)

• Camden Soldiers of King and Queen 1788-1913 (2020)

• From convicts to computers: 200 years of the Tasmanian Supreme Court (2023)

• Mary Morton Allport: A life reflected through art (2025)
