History Day brings together students, researchers and anyone with an interest in history with professionals from archives, libraries, publishers and other organisations with history collections from the UK and beyond. It is a free annual one-day event that is created collaboratively between the Institute of Historical Research and Senate House Library.

The last event was on Thursday 19 November 2020 to coincide with the Being Human festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities.

Explore the programme of History Day 2020 and the Discover Collections gallery to see last year’s events and contributions by libraries, archives and history organisations.
