Your membership magazine

Welcome to the autumn edition of HA News.

We have updates on the office team's move back into 59a, and HA President Alexandra Walsham's busy six months travelling the country supporting the HA and its activities, as well as membership, education and competition updates.

Dr Dean A. Irwin shares ‘What got me into history’, Dr Gabrielle Storey talks about ‘How do historians write their books?’, and there are articles on the Crusades, witches in the Basque Country and a Black British female singer who became the toast of the USA.

We have an in-depth feature on those special people that have received Honorary Fellowships from us this year and a celebration of those who are now Jubilee Fellows. There is also an obituary for Nicolas Kinloch, former Deputy President of the Historical Association who sadly passed away in April.

All of our activities are listed in the magazine and there is a preview of our new webinar series planned for the end of 2024 on ‘The history that Shakespeare gave us’. 

We hope you will enjoy this edition. If you have any ideas for future HA activities or articles you would like to contribute to HA News, we'd love to hear from you on enquiries@history.org.uk.
