Museum Historians' National Network

The Museum Historians' National Network (formerly Special Interest Group) provides an information and support network for museum historians working throughout Australia. It organises sessions at the Museums Australia National Conference each year, and special events such as tours and talks.

Among other activities every year are:

A bursary program for the annual Museums Australia conference
An AGM
Sponsorship of the Global Curator program

The Museum Historians' National Network also issues a periodic newsletter, Timelines, keeping members up-to-date with new museum exhibitions, research projects and special events.
