Welcome to WikiShepp: Documenting the History of the Goulburn Valley
WikiShepp is a collaborative website that enables registered users to work together, building a record of the history of the Goulburn Valley. Anyone can register as a user and develop their own historical material—narratives, biographies, descriptions, photographs or other images. You can start new pages and topics, add new material to other entries and make corrections. The wiki records every change so that the origin of each edit can be tracked and sourced. This way historical knowledge can be built up and corrected by collaboration.
