context_page_description: The Queensland Women's Historical Association is a historical society in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia which studies the history and heritage of Queensland, including its pioneer families and the contribution made by women. The association is headquartered at the heritage-listed house Miegunyah in Bowen Hills.
context_section_description: The association was established in Brisbane in April 1950 as the Women's Historical Association. Its headquarters were at the heritage-listed Newstead House. In 1957 it was renamed the Queensland Women's Historical Association. From 1960 to 1983 the association placed plaques to commemorate historic sites associated with Queensland's history.
  In 1966, Newstead House was to be converted into a museum so the association required new headquarters. At the same time, a nearby historic house Miegunyah (then called Beverley Wood) in Bowen Hill was about to be demolished. Through a public appeal, the association raised the funds for a deposit to buy Miegunyah to restore it to its former glory.
