We would like to cordially invite you to submit your papers and participate
in 'OUR AUTOMOTIVE HERITAGE', the second annual conference of Automotive
Historians Australia hosted by University of Adelaide and the National
Motor Museum, 22– 24 September 2017
Adelaide, South Australia.
2017 is a significant year for motor vehicle manufacture in Australia with
the closure of the last Holden plant at Elizabeth. To recognise that event
and to acknowledge the important work of restoration and the preservation
of motor vehicles by private owners and in motor museums the theme of the
2017 Automotive Historians Australia Conference is: OUR MOTORING HERITAGE.
Papers are sought that address the broad theme in one or more of the
following ways:
- The significance of vehicle manufacturing in Australia with respect to
its economic and social impacts
- The significance of Holden to Australian society and culture
- The restoration of vehicles including methods, philosophical debates
around restoration and curatorial policy, technology and design
- Curatorial practices and museum directions including display, social
history in motor museums, collection policy and new museology for the
collection and exhibition of Australian motoring heritage
- The ephemeral heritage of the motoring life, which may include for
example motoring advertisements, posters, art work, popular culture,
literary expression, the products of support industries
- International automotive heritage, which may include for example
international museological practice in motor museums, international
motoring manufacture, the preservation of motoring heritage in an
international context.
- Design heritage including automotive design, the architecture of the
roadside to support motoring culture and the ways in which we record and
engage with design heritage.

committee by Thursday 29 June 2017. Abstracts will be blind reviewed by at
