Journal History

History Australia replaced the Australian Historical Association’s Bulletin, which was published between 1974 and 2003. History Australia’s first issue was published in print in 2003. The first issue to be published online was Volume 2 Number 1, the December 2004 issue. The journal's original editor was Emeritus Professor Marian Quartly of Monash University, who saw History Australia through the transition from a print-only journal to an online plus print publication.
