Click below for new site

MAHA, Macquarie Ancient History Association, was founded in 1978 with the aim of promoting the study of Ancient History in schools, universities and the general community. This covers many diverse areas of the ancient world around the Mediterranean.

MAHA provides opportunities for people interested in Ancient History to hear and/or read about recent research, and to exchange ideas and information through a program of lectures and seminars, as well as newsletters and other publications.

The funds raised by the Association through membership subscriptions and other activities are used in three main ways:

To assist Macquarie University students to take part in archaeological excavations overseas as part of their program of study

To support the Association’s program of publishing, particularly the main publication, the journal Ancient History:

Resources for Teachers (formerly Ancient Society: Resources for Teachers) which appears twice a year

To purchase items for the Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University

MAHA arranges a variety of activities throughout the year. These include:

Lectures and seminars by visiting and local scholars

Ancient History Study Days for Higher School Certificate (HSC) students

Greek Drama Festival for schools

Workshops and weekend seminars

Excursions and museum visits

Film nights and theatre parties

Other social functions

Members receive a regular Newsletter which keeps them informed of forthcoming events and other relevant news. They may also subscribe at a reduced rate to MAHA publications, such as the journal Ancient History: Resources for Teachers. Members are eligible to stand for election to the MAHA Committee, or to seek co-option to it.
