Women have contributed to Gippsland’s greatness for centuries. It’s time this contribution was recognised more equally in our region’s place names.

Join Women in Gippsland as we start a conversation to increase recognition of notable women in Gippsland.

This event features guest speakers, morning tea, and a focus on elevating women, storytelling and making things happen. PLUS, complimentary entry to Old Gippstown after the event concludes!

Summary

The HCV was formed as an advisory body in 2001 and incorporated in 2003. It comprises representatives from cultural and educational institutions and heritage bodies; history teachers and curriculum advisors; academic and professional historians; and local, Indigenous, community and specialist history organisations.

As the peak body for history, the HCV has both ‘outward-looking’ roles (including advocacy and representation to government and the wider community, consultation, community education, and networking with allied interest groups) and ‘inward-looking’ roles (including member support, information dissemination, and networking between members).
