History Queensland Inc. was established on 15 July 1995. Local and Family History Societies operate throughout Queensland because of the dedication of thousands of members who give their services voluntarily to promote their common interest.
Who are we?
HQ offers member organisations specialised insurance including Public Liability and Voluntary Workers insurance, publishes a quarterly newsletter, hosts a Facebook page, and coordinates a biennial conference/fair for members to showcase their organisation.
History Queensland’s next six-monthly meeting will be held on
Sunday, 17th November, in Auchenflower, Brisbane,
hosted by Oral History Queensland.
At the AGM in May, it was announced that History Queensland Inc. would provide 5 grants of up to $2,000 in 2024.
Applications closed on 31 August 2024 and were reviewed by an Assessment Panel which made recommendations to the Management Committee.

The cost of travel and accommodation may exclude some members from regional areas who would otherwise like to attend the next conference.
To assist regional delegates, History Qld will subsidise the attendance of up to four members of HQ member organisations at the 2025 Conference.
Each subsidy will be up to $1500.00, and the funds will be available for travel, mileage, and accommodation.
After the conference, such costs will be reimbursed for the production of receipts or other documentary evidence.
Preference will be given to applications from people living more than 200 kilometres from Brisbane when awarding subsidies.
Depending on the response from member societies, the management committee may decide to grant no subsidies, more than four subsidies, or subsidies in amounts other than $1500.00.
If you wish to apply for support, please complete the application form and return it to the Secretary by Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
This allows successful applications to take advantage of the conference's Early Bird pricing, which closes on 30 November.
