The Society’s office will be closed for Christmas and the New Year from the end of Thursday 22 December to Tuesday 3 January 2023.

The Council and Staff of the Royal Historical Society wish you a peaceful and restful Christmas and New Year. Thank you to all those who have supported the Society, and the discipline more widely, in 2022; and we look forward to meeting and working with many of you in the coming year.
