History Day 2024
History Day 2024 took place on Tuesday 5 November. Ninety-two organisations took part in total, with seventy-four attending the History Day fair. You can explore the organisations via the Discover Collections page and a map of participating organisations.
Thanks to Katherine Chapman, History Day intern for all her work and enthusiasm in planning History Day 2024. This internship was supported by the IHR paid internships scheme. History Day 2024 was also supported by the University of London Convocation Trust, who funded bursaries enabling organisations to attend from outside London.
“The array of stalls was vast. I picked up tips that I could not have gained anywhere else: archives that I would not have guessed existed for my use”
“I came away with so many new ideas and contacts and inspired for the next step of my research”

“We were busy all day and there was a lovely buzz to the event, plus a great opportunity to meet other archivists and librarians etc.”

“The scavenger hunt was great as I really did talk to people that I might not have done otherwise”
“I liked the range of organisations that took part and I found the event engaging. It was well-signposted, easy to access”
