HISTORY NEWS |
We welcome all enquiries for membership from those with a commitment to the serious study of the past. The Society promotes discussion of history by means of a full programme of public lectures and disseminates the results of historical research and debate through its many publications. It also speaks for the interests of history and historians. We also offer grants to postgraduate students to support research training and prizes for historical publications. The Society produces, in conjunction with the Institute of Historical Research, the Bibliography of British and Irish History (BBIH), a database of over 518,000 records, by far the most complete online bibliographical resource on British and Irish history, including relations with the empire and the Commonwealth.
