University of Wollongong Historical Journal

The Historical Journal was published by the University of Wollongong Historical Society (which later became the UOW History Society). The Society was formed in September 1974 to provide a forum for discussion, and to encourage the study of history. Three issues were published between 1975 and 1979, the last one being a special issue entitled ‘The Connor legacy’. This focussed on the Inaugural R.F.X. Connor Memorial Lecture, which was delivered by the Hon. E.G. (Gough) Whitlam in the University of Wollongong’s Union Hall on 26 September 1979. (Subsequent Connor memorial lectures were published as a separate series.)
