Historian in Residence

Historian in Residence Program 2025-2026

Sunshine Coast Council is calling for historians to join their residency program to help fill the missing gaps in our region’s history.

This is the fifth year of the Sunshine Coast Historian in Residence Program.

There are two contract positions available for qualified and experienced historians or other relevant professionals, with a stipend of $12,500 per historian.

This flexible program is linked to the following sites where historians can access council’s collections:

1. Heritage Library, Nambour
2. Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct or Landsborough Museum, Glass House Mountains.

Immerse yourself in a project that will reveal, document, and showcase Sunshine Coast’s heritage.
