Royal Historical Society

The Royal Historical Society began life as the Historical Society for Great Britain; in 1868, after a campaign championed by Henry Austin Bruce, Lord Aberdare, it received its 'Royal' Charter from Queen Victoria.

Since then the Society has evolved from being a club for scholarly gentlemen to its current status as the foremost body for those engaged professionally in the study of the past. The membership of nearly 3000 Fellows and members draws together individuals from across the world, engaged professionally in researching and presenting public history, whether in archives, libraries, museums or the heritage industry. The Society aims to maintain professional standards within the discipline, and to represent the views of its membership to government bodies and to the public at large.
