FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETIES INC
NEWSLETTER
No. 38 – August 2013
Hon Editor, Esther V. Davies
National online heritage portal for Australia
Australia’s Community Heritage – www.communityheritage.net.au
The Hon Mark Butler MP, Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Water, has officially launched Australia’s Community Heritage. The website provides individuals and heritage organisations with the opportunity of freely sharing their local heritage at a centralised location.
Historical societies around Australia are strongly encouraged to create a free account and add information about their organisation and their district’s heritage. The site can also be used to promote heritage-related events.
The Federation of Australian Historical Societies has engaged Andrew Bowman to assist historical societies in this endeavour. If your society would like further information, guidance or info added for you, please contact Andrew by e-mail – andrew@carnamah.com.au
