Newsletter
The FAHS Newsletter is published approximately twice annually and is sent to historical societies within Australia by e-mail. It is primarily focused on the activities of the FAHS and its constituent member societies, but also contains articles from further afield of relevance to Australian historical societies.
The FAHS also publishes an E-Bulletin which is published more frequently and focuses on items and events of more immediate interest.
If your historical society is not already our e-mail distribution list for the E-Bulletin and the Newsletter, and would like to be on it, please let us know by e-mail.
