Abstract:
History has a funny way of creeping up on you, then consuming you. It certainly was the case for offshore oil rig electrician-turned historian John Holt, who is undertaking a PhD in History at the University of WA and working to get a Capturing the Energy-style organisation off the ground in Australia. Having worked as the Project Officer for the Scottish Shale Oil Museum he also believes Perth could do with an oil industry museum like the one in Texas created from a converted jack-up drill rig complete with a Hall of Fame.
