AMHA

WELCOME to the web pages of the Australian Mining History Association (AMHA). Our organization was founded and incorporated in 1995. The impetus for formation of the Association came from those attending the International Mining History Conference at Golden, Colorado, in 1994, who realised that it was time to form an organisation that catered for mining historians in Australia. It was also felt that there were people present who would welcome the opportunity to keep in touch and to meet in-between the four-year intervals that divided the International meetings. Subsequently, the void was filled and we have steadily built up our membership to over 180, with a scattering of international representatives among that number.

To date our activities have involved the publication of quarterly newsletters, the running of 14 national conferences, the publication of a 340 page Bibliography of the mining history of Australia and Papua New Guinea (now on CD) and and in addition publication of Conference Proceedings, and six volumes of the Journal of Australasian Mining History.
