Our Story
Stories in Stone is an annual not-for-profit community conference that presents the knowledge, experience and perspectives of the many wonderful people involved in caring for, researching, and creatively engaging in Queensland's historical cemeteries.
The inaugural 'Stories in Stone' conference was hosted by the Royal Historical Society of Queensland at the Commissariat Store in Brisbane in March 2024 (see here for details of this event) and was successful enough to create demand for another one, and so an organising committee was formed later that year.
A second event was held in August 2025 at the Hamilton Town Hall, Brisbane, with an attendance of around 90 people (see here for details of this). The success of this conference firmly established the potential for Stories in Stone to be held as an annual event, and at the moment that is our intention.
