The goal of Québec's First Regional Convention of History, which was presented last March in Trois-Rivières by the UQTR History Students' Association, was to promote public interest in history and foster awareness of the various history-related organizations in the area. The event brought about thirty exhibitors together representing museums, historical societies, archives, interpretation centres, and others. Besides giving visitors the chance to attend talks, musical shows, plays, dances, and historical re-enactments, this event also contributed to bringing the university milieu and the local historical community closer. The success of this first convention opens up the possibility of holding such an event annually and eventually on a national scale.
