The Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology ASHA was originally founded as the Australian Society for Historical Archaeology in 1970 by Judy Birmingham , then a lecturer at the University of Sydney . Its aims were, and still are, to promote the study of Historical archaeology in Australia . Initially ASHA published a Newsletter which was important in conveying relevant news and information often research finding .

As such it has an important role in making the results of research available and in encouraging discussion on the theory and methods of historical archaeology. In 1991 the Society was extended to include New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region generally, and its name was changed to the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology. In the mid 1990s the Society s committee moved from being Sydney based to being a more Australasian wide committee Neville Ritchie, the then President lived in New Zealand reflecting the growth of historical archaeology in the region.
