The Biennial Kay Daniels Award was established by the AHA in 2003 in honour of the historian and public servant, Kay Daniels, who died in 2001. Kay Daniels taught and published widely in the fields of women's history, social history and colonial history. In 1977, she co-edited the first published bibliography of women's history in Australia, which did so much to open up new research in the area. In 1979, she co-authored, Uphill all the Way, a documentary history of women in Australia. And in 1998, she published Convict Women, on the experiences of convict women in Tasmania. At the University of Tasmania, Kay Daniels inspired several generations of devoted students to research in colonial history and in particular in heritage history. She continued this interest in her policy work in the Commonwealth Department of Communications and the Arts in Canberra.
