Enviro-historians online

Following up my posts (just scroll down) about CanHist blogging (or the lack thereof), Sean Kheraj, a postdoc in the History Department at UBC suggests:

I did want to bring your attention to the growing online Canadian environmental history community. The main portal for Canadian environmental history is: http://niche.uwo.ca. Each member of the site can post stories, news items, conference notices, research findings, and any other information related to the field. NiCHE's site also hosts a series of databases for research and teaching. I've been involved with NiCHE for the past couple of years and I think their work is an excellent model that more historians should adopt. Incidentally, I would also recommend you listen to our podcast, "Nature's Past". You can find past episodes and our iTunes subscription info at http://niche.uwo.ca/naturespast. Thanks again for the great post. Historians need to think more about using internet technologies to share information and disseminate research findings.
