About the NZHA

The New Zealand Historical Association was founded in 1981. Our members work in all fields of history, based in every region of New Zealand and beyond these shores. The Association has a two-tiered structure, represented by an Executive Committee and a Council.

Through this website and conferences, along with advocacy and lobbying, the NZHA aims to promote historical study, teaching and research.

The website is undergoing some updates at present. Thank you for your patience while we make these changes.

A short essay written by Raewyn Dalziel in 2016 takes us through the evolving process of conferencing and decision-making that led to the Association’s establishment in 1981.

The Association has a two-tiered structure, represented by an Executive Committee and a Council.
