About History Queensland

The Association was formed as a statewide umbrella organization to encourage liaison and co-operation between local and family history societies, to promote greater awareness of local and family history and to encourage all levels of government to recognize the importance of local and family history.

The Association publishes a quarterly newsletter, History Queensland News as a means of communication and of disseminating information relevant to the interests of member societies.

History Queensland is a non-profit organization, run entirely by volunteers.
