Our paper on the Lost Melbourne Facebook page is now available online

For a while now, I and two academic collaborators (Marsha Berry and Lisa Cianci) have been members of the Lost Melbourne page on Facebook. Started by an amateur historian, Lost Melbourne is  a site of interaction where people post and share their memories of Melbourne, including quite a lot of ghost sign stuff. It's become very popular very quickly.

The three of us have written an academic paper on Lost Melbourne that is now freely available online. You can access the paper here:
