YOUNG HISTORIANS’ WORKSHOP - Teachers are invited to submit the name of one student from their Year 11 or 12 Ancient History or Modern History classes to attend the Young Historians’ Workshop to be held at the State Library of Queensland from 30th April to 1st May 2012.
Only ten students will be chosen and, of these, preference will be given to two students from rural or remote areas who meet the criteria. These two students will have travel costs supplemented to the value of $600 each and will be billeted in Brisbane. Country students must be willing to be billeted or be willing to fund any alternative arrangements.
The State Library staff will work with students to investigate a historical issue of their choice and to develop a wide range of research skills.

Ros Korkatzis
1944 – 2011

One of our longest serving Executive Members, Ros Korkatzis, passed away on Monday 16th May after a short illness. Ros was undoubtedly one of the most hard working and enthusiastic members of QHTA and her humour, professionalism and dedication to history will be sorely missed.
