Originally founded in 1983, the Society has gone through some significant changes in recent years. With a new name, constitution, administrative procedures, and most importantly a new home, we are now bringing enthusiasm and professionalism to our volunteer organisation. This has led the Society to redefine its purpose.
The aim of the Society is to promote and enhance community understanding of Queensland’s military history from 1824 to the present.
To achieve this aim, the Society will:
- Develop a museum collection that portrays the military heritage of Queensland, and display, exhibit and interpret museum items.
- Develop a library collection of published and unpublished information that document or support research into the military history of Queensland.
- Conduct and participate in commemorative events and activities that enhance community understanding of Queensland’s military history.
- Support, promote and publish research and scholarship into Queensland’s military history, and provide a forum for community participation.
- Engage members in commemorative and social activities that promote interest in Queensland’s military history and provide opportunities for members to contribute in practical ways to the advancement of the society.
