Collections by theme

The history collections website brings together collection guides and blog series on several themes from organisations participating in History Day. Themes have included a collaboration with the North American Collections Group to create an American Trail as part of the fair. Hope and Fear was borrowed from the 2016 Being Human festival. Magic and the Supernatural was chosen because the 2017 History Day coincided with Halloween. In 2018 we had blog posts on Women’s History and also a page offering The Researcher’s View about experiences in libraries and archives. Find out more about History Day.
