Description

History of Australian Astronomy Chapter (HAAC) is a new chapter of the Astronomical Society of Australia. With the enthusiastic support of people across Australia, the chapter was established to recognise Australia’s rich and diverse astronomical history, both Indigenous and European. The chapter aims to bring together astronomers, historians, curators, educators and specialists in this field to collaborate and share knowledge. Here we would like to introduce HAAC to AIP members and conference attendees and stress the interest and the relevance of history to each of them. We indicate the aims of the chapter and mention its planned and past activities, featuring some of the excellent recorded presentations with images and QR codes.
