Local history in schools

The HA will be introducing an annual award for a local history resource that can be used in schools. It will be named in honour of Professor Gordon Batho, a former trustee and benefactor of the HA. It will be open to any individual or organisation producing such resources. This could include:

• an individual or group
• a school or consortium of schools
• a higher education institute
• a local History society
• a library, archive or museum
• an historical site.

The award is not open to commercial resource providers. The resource(s) should be freely available for use in schools.

The full details and criteria for the award will be available at www.history.org.uk from July 2016.
