In February 2025, the HCV’s Book+Author series returns at a new venue - Bard's Apothecary.

Curated and hosted by Dr Yves Rees, the series showcases new books from some of Australia’s most exciting historians. 

This atmospheric downstairs bar is a wonderful CBD venue for intimate literary and cultural events. (We regret that the venue is not wheelchair accessible.) Grab a drink at the bar before or after the event to make the most of your night!

Our friends from the Paperback Bookshop will be there as usual to sell books, and the author will be happy to sign your copy.

 

Our February guest will be Dr Geraldine Fela.

Geraldine will be discussing her latest book, Critical Care.

 

This event in free to members of the Friends of the HCV.

Bookings are open to the general public at $10 per ticket.

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).
