PHA (Vic & Tas) history:
In 1989, a small group of Monash University Public History students formed a group to hold monthly meetings with guest speakers presenting on public history. In 1991, this group formed an association, primarily of women, supporting members to forge a career path as public historians in the community outside the University. This was a radical shift from the world of academic history that was still dominated by men. In Tasmania, the Hobart Urban History Group operating in the 1980s formed the Professional Historians Association in 1990 to support historians working in the field of Public History. It aimed to promote the profession of the historian, developing standards and guidelines. In 2018, Victoria and Tasmania merged and today, the association is made up of a formidable list of who’s who in the history and heritage community. From a handful of historians, PHA (Vic & Tas) now represents over 230 historians across two states.
