Join Us – Become a member and support our work

 

Our Members are at the heart of what we do.

The HCNSW fosters the practice of history in all its forms, and as a NSW-based organisation, we provide programs and services, which aim to build capacity within the history sector and showcase the importance of history through representation, professional development events, Awards, and the telling of diverse stories.

We focus on five key areas:

  • Members – Dialogue & Development
  • Sector – Data & Research
  • Forms of Practice
  • Advocacy
  • Alliances & Goodwill

Our members are very valuable to us, as they not only provide us with a great deal of intellectual, voluntary, resource and cash support, they also represent the voice of our History community.

Support for the History Council of NSW means support for this community and for the    Value of History, its past, present and future.

What we give our members (in brief – further information available below)

  • History Week – only members can run History Week events
  • Discounted Tickets
    • Access to our events at low/nil ticket fees
    • First option for tickets to our events, which feature the work of first-rate historians
  • Communications and Member Promotions
    • advertising of events staged by members via our social media platforms and channels
    • members-only newsletters
  • Advocacy about matters of historic importance within NSW
  • Networking opportunities with other members, and our Cultural Partner organisations at events

I acknowledge the History Council NSW and their critically important work of recognising and celebrating the history of New South Wales. From an Aboriginal perspective, I personally appreciate the work done by the Council in delivering an important place for an Indigenous presence in the State’s history and in encouraging the development of Indigenous historians across the past two decades. The History Council has worked tirelessly to deliver a balanced understanding of the nation’s past and one that offers pride for all Australians.
