As well as the annual conference, the Society proudly supports innovative scholarship through the dissemination of its record series, monograph series, and research grants. It also produces the scholarly journal, British Catholic History which is published by Cambridge University Press, and now in its 36th volume.

Registration
Delegates can attend the conference as either a residential delegate, day delegate, or online delegate. We have reserved a small number of rooms at Hinsley Hall to accommodate arrivals on 21st July for delegates travelling a significant distance. After members of the Society were given early bird access, we now have only a handful of tickets for residential delegates remaining. We recommend that delegates who wish to stay at Hinsley Hall register soon, though accommodation is available in Leeds for those who register as day delegates instead.
Details about all tickets, and what they include, can be found at our Eventbrite page.
