Writing the Project: History Extension Seminar

Join us on Thursday 12 March 2026 for a follow-up to our History Extension 2025 event. In this online seminar we will be focusing on writing The Project.

This 90-minute interactive online seminar will be presented by Museums of History NSW and the State Library of NSW.

There will be two focus areas: refining research and writing like a historian.

Jonathon Dallimore will help students to whittle down the scope of their research question, refining big ideas into an achievable and tangible focus.

Michelle Kennedy will interrogate high-quality examples of past students’ writing, identifying methods to compose a well-structured and engaging major work.

This event is for Stage 6 History Extension students.

Bookings essential; $15 for students and teachers. Bookings include access to a recording of the seminar.

Time: 3.30pm–5pm, 90 minutes
