Emeritus Professor Geoff Rice - The First Forty Years - The Early Canterbury Historical Associations, 1922-1962

Originally founded in 1922 and revived in 1953 after a wartime recess, the Canterbury Historical Association brings together members of the public and University of Canterbury staff and students with a shared passion for History. It offers an annual programme of lectures delivered by Canterbury academics, senior research students, and visiting scholars. 
Lectures are held monthly between March and November. The series is broadcast in collaboration with Plains Media to encourage discussion and community debate.
The Association also administers the J.M. Sherrard Award, which recognises the best works in regional and local history in Aotearoa New Zealand. The CHA is a registered charity (CC40979), and operates in collaboration with the History Department at the University of Canterbury.
