The History Council of Victoria (HCV) is an advisory body formed in 2001 and incorporated in 2003. It was established to promote history in Victoria and comprises representatives from cultural institutions and heritage bodies; history teachers and curriculum advisor's; academic and professional historians; and local indigenous and community history organisations.
The HCV delivers a number of accessible and well-received history-centred initiatives. These include:
· The History Roadshow program, which travels around regional Victoria delivering curriculum enrichment for VCE history students and teachers.
· The Making Public Histories seminar series, exploring issues and approaches in making public histories and offered jointly by HCV, Monash University’s Institute for Public History and the State Library of Victoria.
· The annual lecture, which in recent years has been delivered by personalities such as Clare Wright, William McInnes and Barry Jones.
· Drought Stories: a spoken and visual history of the current drought in Victoria, a project recording the experience of drought-affected communities.
