The Role of the AHA The Australian Historical Association, founded in 1973, is a national organisation of historians – academic, professional and other – working in all fields of history. Its membership numbers approximately 800, and includes universities, libraries and other affiliates from across Australia, the Pacific and around the world. Three times a year the AHA publishes History Australia, a refereed journal that deals with both the discipline and the profession of history. It is available in print and/or on-line. See the membership page for further details on subscription options. The AHA organises regular conferences: a large national conference in even years; and a smaller thematic meeting in odd years. Members receive registration discounts. The AHA offers the W.K. Hancock Prize for History, as well as the Serle Award, the Kay Daniels Award, the Allan Martin Award and the Magarey Medal every two years, in the year of the national conference. The AHA/CAL Prize is awarded annually. Members are also encouraged to apply for the Prime Minister's Prize for Australia History and the NWS Government's Max Kelly Medal. The Executive Committee of the AHA draws its members from all over the country. Its Executive Office is located at the University of New South Wales. Full details on the AHA's membership, publications, and other functions may be obtained from the Executive Office.
