Invite visitors to understand Australian history in the place where it happened.

When we hear stories from local history experts and gain special access to records, collections and landmarks, the past suddenly becomes way more personal.

 

Hands-on-History events bring local stories to life while creating stronger connections between heritage organisations, tourism operators, local communities and visitors. Our mission is to help heritage groups reach new audiences, strengthen their long-term sustainability and create compelling new reasons for people to visit regional communities.

 


If you are passionate about your local history and want to share it with a wider audience, this webinar is for you.

Join us to explore practical ways that local historical and heritage organisations can tap into tourism. We will discuss how to combine your local knowledge, stories, collections and historic places with the expertise of tourism operators to create engaging visitor experiences that reveal what makes your town tick.

You will also discover how a Hands-on-History event can turn local expertise into an accessible and memorable experience - one that benefits visitors, heritage organisations and the wider community.

 

We're excited to be part of the line-up of events during  2026 History Week: Keeping Stories.
