Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Ford is a historian and consultant with a Ph.D. in military history and over three decades of hands-on experience producing books, archival reports, heritage signage and public exhibitions that shape how communities remember war and local history. He has authored multiple monographs and chapters, led heritage surveys for Brisbane City Council that won statewide recognition, and regularly appears as a media commentator and conference speaker on topics from World War II Brisbane to Indigenous representation in comics. Comfortable in both academic and public-facing roles, he combines university teaching and Ph.D. examination experience with practical projects—mapping digital history, advising community planning teams, and creating heritage trails such as his American Civil War Heritage Trail for Queensland. Less obvious is his crossover into technical work: he has contributed back-end image-processing features to an open-source repo, reflecting a practical interest in digital tools for historical research and presentation.
