The Federation of Australian Historical Societies (FAHS) is the peak body for historical societies throughout Australia.[1][2] It has eight constituent members, one in each of the Australian states and internal self-governing territories. It lobbies governments on behalf of the sector and has formed alliances with other related bodies. It promotes uniform national standards through guides and other publications and fosters historical research, writing and education through fellowships and awards.
