About

Jan Wegner is a north Queenslander who has become fascinated by the region's history since her undergraduate days and has been researching and teaching it ever since. As a large part of that history is to do with mining, this is her principal research area, and she has done some Impact of Assessment consultancy work in mining heritage for the Queensland government and for mining companies. However, she has also written commissioned histories of the Etheridge and Hinchinbrook Shires which has given her an overview of many other areas of northern history. Lately she has side-stepped into environmental history and she is currently researching a history of tropical Queensland weeds.

Jan is a volunteer at the Cairns Historical Society Museum where she researches for displays and object files. This has led to a Significance Assessment study for the Croydon Shire Council's mining machinery museum collection. She also chairs the Far Northern branch of the National Trust of Queensland. She has been on several State and Council committees to do with history and heritage, including a stint on the Queensland Heritage Council.
