Biennial State Conference for Local & Family Historians

History Queensland facilitates and supports a biennial conference for local and family historians to meet, learn, showcase and trade.

These conferences are usually organised by a member group with assistance from History Queensland. Run by enthusiastic volunteers, these events have been well supported and enjoyed. History Queensland encourages members from all over Queensland to attend and financially supports at least two from regional Queensland. The History Queensland AGM is held at the close of the Conference.
