Camden Collection – Free Access to mark RHS at 150
To mark the 150th anniversary of the Royal Historical Society, Cambridge University Press are making a selection of ten volumes from the Camden Series freely available to researchers until the end of the year.
Global History – RHS Symposium
As part of our 150th anniversary programme, we recently hosted a symposium on ‘The Future of History: Going Global in the University’ with the Oxford Centre for Global History at the Ashmolean Museum and Bodleian Libraries. Dr Priya Atwal, a Knowledge Exchange Fellow at The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities, reflects on the symposium and asks how we can make global history ‘work’.
National Archives Research Priorities
We partner with many organisations to host events and promote the study of history. Each summer we sponsor a series of free lectures at The National Archives, where our colleagues do invaluable work preserving and sharing the nation’s historical records. This year’s series, ‘Mapping Movement: People, Place, & Power’, begins this month, following the launch of The National Archive’s new research priorities. Dr Anna Sexton is Head of Research at The National Archives, and here she introduces the new priorities and future directions for research.
