About Us
History Queensland Inc.
What is History Queensland Inc.
The Association was formed as a state-wide umbrella organisation 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 recognise the importance of local and family history.
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.
The Association publishes a quarterly newsletter, HQ News as a means of communication and of disseminating information relevant to the interests of member societies. The Society also has a presence on Facebook.
