PHA members around Australia are invited to submit proposals for papers to be delivered at the forthcoming national conference. The conference will be held in collaboration with the annual history colloquium History Talks in Darwin on Larrakia Country, on 25 and 26 October 2025.

We are seeking papers and presentations on the theme of Hot Histories and invite members to share insights from their work on passion projects, hot topics, controversial histories, stories from the ‘steamy’ north (of Capricorn), professional challenges, love in the archives, and any history-related work that has raised your temperature.

Visit the website for more information.

Abstracts for papers and presentations are due by 4 April 2025.
