Join the QLHF

Are you passionate about history? Would you love to learn ancient crafts or combat skills? Keep reading to find out how to become part of our re-enactment family and bring history to life. 

Starting a group:

If you have started or are starting a living history group and would like to be part of the Queensland Living History Federation please contact us for more information.

While most of our member groups are re-enactment groups based in Queensland, membership is also available to groups based in other states.

Membership is also available groups that aren’t re-enactment groups, such as preservation societies (preserving music, artifacts, skills, crafts or historical sites) and research societies (researching a particular period or field in world history).

We look at a number of criteria when reviewing an application – these include the sources you use for your research, your current kit (clothing, equipment, tents etc.), and your overall goals as a group.

We recommend that you have a look at our members section to get a better idea of what our Federation groups are doing.
