History Australia is the official journal of the Australian Historical Association, and is proudly published by Taylor & Francis. All members of the AHA receive a subscription to the journal. History Australia aims to reflect the concerns, publish the research and increase the professional self-awareness of historians making, teaching and applying history, particularly in Australia.
The Australian Historical Association is delighted to be holding its annual AHA Conference from 29 June to 3 July 2026, hosted by Macquarie University. The organising committee are excited to welcome historians from around Australia and the world to Sydney, on Dharug Country, to share their new research and engage one another on the pressing questions facing our discipline and our communities, under the theme "Changing Minds."
The Australian Historical Association was founded in 1973 and is the peak national organisation of historians working in all fields of history. We have over 900 members represented by an Executive Committee drawn from all over the country.
The AHA is committed to quality and integrity in the practice of history and advocacy on issues relating to the history profession in Australia.
