History Day 2024

History Day 2024

We took a stall at History Day 2024 organised by The Institute of Historical Research (www.history.ac.uk) held in the Senate House of the University of London on 5th November 2024.
The photo shows our stall as we were setting up. After more volunteers from our member organisations arrived, the table was completely covered with information leaflets for visitors. Our volunteers were kept busy talking to the nearly 400 visitors who came to see the 65 exhibitors at this prestigious event.
