Tēnā koutou, 

Welcome to the New Zealand Historical Association Conference 2023, hosted in Ōtautahi | Christchurch, New Zealand. Supported by Kā Waimaero | Office of the Treaty Partnership, University of Canterbury and, Lincoln University. 

The NZHA Conference is a showcase of the best and most up to date historical research exploring Aotearoa New Zealand and elsewhere.  We wish to welcome any and all people with an interest in history to attend the conference.

The Liberal Arts have been under attack for many years, but interest in history has begun to recover some of its allure. One of the key reasons for the revival of history has been the public’s perception of the benefits arising from practical uses of history. A focus on history in the real world is fundamental to maintaining that public interest. 
The Organising Committee for the 2023 NZHA Conference have chosen the theme “Practical history in the real world” to enable us to explore, question, interrogate and understand the practical uses of history.
