Living History is a hobby combining elements of archeology, research, arts, crafts, martial skill (at times) - and of course, fun.
It is finding out what it meant to be a merchant, a convict, a farmer, a soldier, or a person of means - this list is not restricted; and can be from any time and any location.
It is an attempt to simulate, or re-enact life in another time, and is a very tangible and visual interpretation of aspects of social heritage. It is a three-dimensional history lesson that is entertaining as well as educational; combining the art form of dramatic performance and the discipline of historic research, it is not a medium which accepts the mythology of the past.
Widely used throughout Europe, the United Kingdom and North America as an integral form of historic interpretation, its promotion as a recognised method of preserving elements of our cultural heritage is a significant objective for Queensland Living History Federation Inc.
