We congratulate the successful recipients of the 2020 Premier’s Anzac Prize and commend all the students for their dedication shown to the program throughout this challenging year.

Last January, the students commenced their program with the research of 2 service people each at the Young Historians Workshop and recorded their findings in Historypin. In 2020, students were not able to commemorate their chosen service people during a proposed tour of the Western Front battlefields in Europe.

More information on the activities the students engaged in this year is available below.

Program briefing and a 2-day Young Historians Workshop delivered by the State Library of Queensland and city explorations

Students and team members engaging in icebreaker activities at the program briefing in January 2020.

Young Historians Workshop—State Library of Queensland

During the 2-day workshop, students met with the Minister for Education, the Honourable Grace Grace MP, and together viewed WWI and WWII artefacts.


Over the 2 days, students were guided by library staff in their research of 2 service people, toured the library’s repository to view ancient and rare artefacts and visited some of Brisbane’s significant memorial sites.


Students viewed, amongst other artefacts, the unique publication of Sir Joseph Banks’s Florilegium held at the library's repository. All residents of Queensland can request to view rare and unique objects, which are kept in the repository.


The 2-day workshop also allowed time for the students to visit memorial sites of significance in Brisbane’s CBD.
