Professional Historians Association WA

12 BRAVE SLAMMERS competed for chocolates and PHA-branded coffee cups at the History Slam 2026!

Thanks to Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage's Regional Heritage Conference in Northam, a dozen history and heritage professionals delighted a large and enthusiastic crowd with lightning 3-minute history tales.

Huge thanks to staff at The Rec Hotel for allowing us to use their beautiful beer garden - an excellent venue for this fun and entertaining event.

Congratulations to the three worthy winners as voted by the audience, pictured below.

Are you going to the State Heritage Conference in Northam next week?

If so get along to the History Slam at the Rec Hotel from 5pm on Thursday. We have an amazing line-up of people talking all things history.

It's a great way to relax and unwind at the end of day one of the conference. We are so looking forward to it!
