This initiative has been celebrating the achievements of young historians in schools for over twenty years. It is largely funded by the Historical Association and the Spirit of Normandy Trust. It has an annual award scheme and also funds some special events, such as the annual Young Historian Day at Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire. The Young Historian Project seeks to encourage young people to be historians and to encourage their teachers in this great endeavour.
