About History Teachers' Association of Victoria

The History Teachers' Association of Victoria is committed to fostering an outstanding professional community which meets the challenges of the teaching and learning of history in a dynamic environment. It pursues this goal within the state of Victoria, throughout Australia and internationally. The HTAV seeks to ensure that History teachers and educators have the skills, knowledge and values necessary to work in a creative, responsible and effective manner. It promotes life-long learning and respect for the discipline of History in the community. The HTAV is an organisation of people interested in history, at all levels. The History Teachers' Association of Victoria was founded by a group of teachers and was incorporated in Melbourne in 1980. It is governed by an elected Board and its functions are managed and implemented by the Executive Officer and staff. The aim of the HTAV is to promote the teaching of history. Board Meetings of the Association are held each month during the school year in the office located at Suite 105, 134-136 Cambridge St, Collingwood. The Association has two ongoing publications. The Member Bulletin, an electronic newsletter and Agora, the triannual journal, available electronically and in hard-copy. Both publications provide members with the latest information relevant to the teaching of history.
