| dbo:abstract | - Honest History is a professional coalition of historians in Australia. Founded in March 2013, the coalition sought to challenge national myths surrounding ANZAC involvement in the Gallipoli Campaign. The coalition argued that historical interpretations of Australia’s involvement in the First World War (1914–1918) have been contested among historians and have evolved over time. In combating the popular narratives and political rhetoric related to Anzac Day, the coalition sought to provide historical evidence to provide a more “balanced” view of the period. In 2017, The Honest History Book was published, which consisted of multiple essays written by historians affiliated with the Honest History coalition. In 2019, a submission was made to the Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories by members of the Honest History coalition to bring into question how people engage with the Australian War Memorial. In February 2019, members of the Honest History coalition have deregistered its legal status as an official incorporation which has been made effective after November. Despite having a less official status as an association, the Honest History coalition continues to remain active in mobilising their support base through their website and social media platforms.
