So excited to be in beautiful Adelaide at @SLSA for the @ProfHistAus conference Other Histories: Other Audiences. Ready for two days of talking public history!

We are very excited to return to an in-person option for the History Roadshow! Join us in Ballarat for a free day of history lectures, or register for the online version now: lnkd.in/g86rJCRN

If you know someone who has advocated for history, there's still time to nominate them for the @History_Vic Jane Hansen Prize. Entries close 31 July so move fast! historycouncilvic.org.au/jane_hansen_pr…

Excited to be joining the Wilson History Oration, being introduced now by @history2wheeler of @pha_nsw and Helen Penrose of @PHAVicTas. Can’t wait to hear @mcookhistory discuss floods and history. Thank you @ProfHistAus #TWHOration

@FenleyJulie Congratulations Julie. This looks like a beautiful book 👏👏👏

I'm excited to let you know that my history of a community-run philanthropic organisation in Mirboo North on Bunuroung and Kulin country in Gippsland is out now!

@C_PascoeLeahy Congratulations!! 🎉 To say this book has been a labour of love is an understatement. Cannot wait to read it Carla! 👏👏👏

Sometimes a thing happens that’s so significant it’s hard to find the words to do it justice. My new book on the history of Australian mothering has been gestating for a decade. There’s so much of myself in this book - may it find the readers who need it manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526161208/…

Thanks @PRO_Vic and Barbara Minchinton for a terrific talk on Madame Brussels and the challenges of archival research. Great way to kick off #WomensHistoryMonth
