The QFHS Annual Book award celebrates the effort that authors have put into writing up their family history. The award requires that the work have Queensland relevance and that it is properly researched.  The judges assess the entries on the Society’s published criteria.   

The authors of the books that entered this year will participate in a group discussion about their entries and the experience of advancing their research to the point of publication. 

Five authors for our Family History Book Award 2025 will talk about their books and writing processes. The books and authors are: 

* The Sugar King, by Catherine Smith 

* Substance and Shadows, by Jennifer Vivian Smith 

* May the Cane Prosper - A Queensland Story, by Pene Greet and Avis-Ann Ballard 

* A Poor Hand Well Played - A Family Story Across Several Generations, by Anne Heatherington. 

This year's QFHS Inc Family History Book Award recipient will be announced. 

There will be opportunities for sales and signing as well.

The We Remember Them project will gather stories from our members focusing on the wartime stories in their family trees.  A virtual Honour Board will be created on this website to display an image of the individual and a few vital statistics. Each image will be linked to the story of that person’s wartime experiences. Read More
