Royal Historical Society

4 July 2021 Looking to the Society’s future, we seek to develop our membership in several key ways: by making the RHS more relevant to the lives of historians and those interested in the past; by better connecting members to share ideas and establish creative partnerships; and by growing our membership and attracting to the Society a wider range of people with an interest in the past.
