== Biography == Quanchi was born in Victoria on 20 June 1945, third and youngest son to parents Grace and Harry, who moved the family through a series of country towns. He completed High School at Wonthaggi, in South Gippsland. He qualified as a primary teacher and taught a year in a one-teacher remote rural school. Conscripted into National Service, he spent 1966‐1967 in Wewak, Papua New Guinea in the 2PIR Moem Barracks. His five "Nasho Chalkie" (National servicemen/teacher) companions remained close friends and collaborated later on a memoir. Moem Barracks were significant in housing a battalion newly recruited in PNG's expansion of its army during preparations for self-government and independence.
== Education == Quanchi undertook an Honours and MA degree in History at Monash University and subsequently lecturing at universities in Melbourne, Brisbane, Suva in Fiji, and at the University of Papua New Guinea. For his PhD he researched the history of photography in PNG.<ref>{{Cite thesis |title=Photography, representation and cross-cultural encounters: seeking reality in Papua 1880-1930 |date=1996 |language=en |first=Max |last=Quanchi|oclc=639288615 }}</ref>
== Research == Quanchi embarked on research into the history of Gippsland in the early 1980s, publishing books on the subject, but by 1983 had turned his attention to the Pacific region. He has visited PNG regularly over more than forty years to conduct History Teacher workshops, and was a Guest Speaker for P&O Cruises. He concentrated his academic research to focus on Pacific Islands history and the history of photography. Since 1996 he has convened sessions on photography at Pacific History Association conferences, and for AAAPS (Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies in Australia, now AAPS) for which he was its first secretary.
Quanchi has written and published frequently in his specialised field of research, notably his 2007 monograph ''Photographing Papua: Representation, Colonial Encounters and Imaging in the Public Domain'' focused on the colonial frontier in Papua New Guinea. His contribution of articles on photography appear in ''The Oxford Companion to the Photograph'' (2005), ''Berg Encyclopaedia of Fashion and Dress'' (2009), ''Coast to Coast'' (2010) and in the journals ''History of Photography'', ''History Focus'', ''Pacific Arts'', ''Journal of Pacific Studies'', ''Agora'', ''Australian Historical Studies'', ''Journal of Australian Studies'' and ''Journal of Pacific History''. He is on the editorial board of the latter and also of the ''Journal of New Zealand and Pacific Studies,'' for which he has been guest editor for special issues of several.
== Reception == Miriam Kahn of the University of Washington in her review of Quanchi's ''Postcards from Oceania'' as "accessible," and "a clear and concise text that is highly descriptive in nature," noting that "There is a wealth of scholarly literature about Oceania and colonialism but very little exists that focuses specifically on postcards and their important link to colonialism,"<ref name=":0" /> though in a separate review, noting Quanchi and Shekleton's extensive bibliography on the subject, Jacqueline Leckie indicates that Quanchi has been in the vanguard of what is now a "a shift within Pacific history towards centring the visual (including postcards) as a valuable and insightful source."
Carol E. Mayer of the University of British Columbia in reviewing his major work ''Photographing Papua: representation, colonial encounters and imaging in the public domain'' introduces as an <blockquote>"idea fundamental to his work; that late-19th and early-20th century photography in the area known as Papua was the product of the convergence of three phenomena: new technology (the camera), new science (anthropology) and the arrival of an entourage of Europeans (missionaries, traders, government officials, travellers). Quanchi's theoretical underpinnings are dispersed in origin, and he admits to assembling his analysis from a range of academic methodologies and approaches. It can certainly be argued that, historically, anthropology as a discipline paid little attention to the value of photography as an analytical tool."<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Mayer |first=Carol E. |date=2011 |title="Photographing Papua: representation, colonial encounters and imaging in the public domain" by Max Quanchi (review) |journal=The Journal of Pacific History |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=139–140 |doi=10.1080/00223344.2011.573647|s2cid=161526396 }}</ref></blockquote>
Mitchell Rolls in ''Travelling Home, Walkabout Magazine and Mid-Twentieth-Century Australia'' frequently cites as valuable Quanchi's prior research into articles on, and images of, Papua New Guinea in ''Walkabout,'' though contesting Quanchi's assertion that "Walkabout with its heavily illustrated, topical, mass circulation was read by many Australians, who often ignored the text and merely passed the time skipping through the photographs".<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Johnston |first1=Anna |title=Travelling home: 'Walkabout magazine' and mid-twentieth-century Australia |last2=Rolls |first2=Mitchell |date=2019 |isbn=978-1-78527-190-8 |pages=7,180,184,185|publisher=Anthem Press |language=en |oclc=1112384166}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Quanchi |first=Max |title='It's Our Turn to Give Orders'.

== Contributions in education == From 1995‐2001 Quanchi devised and presented a regional Professional Development Program for teachers (TTPF),<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Quanchi |first1=Max |title=Teaching history: a guide for teachers teaching history for the first time |last2=So'o |first2=Asofou |last3=Council of Presidents of Pacific Island History Associations |date=2003 |publisher=Council of Presidents of Pacific Island History Associations |location=Brisbane |language=en |oclc=225921975}}</ref> and over 2011‐2015 led the Moana Project, a regional research network. He introduced and taught the first BA degree course on "Australia and the Pacific" at QUT from 1990 to 2009.
