About History Australia

History Australia is the journal of the Australian Historical Association (AHA), a professional association of historians in Australia that links practitioners in universities and schools with those in museums, galleries and the heritage industry. The journal is a revised form of the AHA Bulletin, which functioned in print form for more than twenty years as the journal of the AHA.

The journal publishes refereed articles, debates, reviews of historical works and news items. It is available online. Members of the AHA can choose to access the journal online, to receive it in print, or both.

History Australia has an Editorial Board, formed by scholars of
international standing.

ISSNs:

Aims and scope

History Australia functions both as a means of communication between historians and as a showcase of historical research product, carrying fully refereed articles on all aspects of Australian historical research, and on the teaching and public display of history in Australia.

History Australia aims to reflect the concerns, to publish the research product, and to increase the professional awareness of all those historians currently making and applying history in Australia and Australian communities.
