Tongan History Association (THA)
La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia
Self-description: "The Tongan History Association was established after the Second Tongan History Conference in Ha'apai, 1989. Chaired by the first President of the Association the late Reverend Dr. Sione Latukefu and a number of like minded scholars, the Tongan History Association was established as an association whose main purpose was to preserve, study and discuss Tongan History at a micro-level, from the past right up to the present. The association's constitution, ratified at the January 1997 conference, states the association's objectives to be: 'To encourage the exchange of information amongst individuals, institutions and organisations interested in Tongan history, anthropology and related disciplines' and 'To encourage the study, discussion, writing and publication of material on Tonga'."
