REF2021 and History: an overview

The Research Excellence Framework (REF), undertaken by the UK’s four HE funding bodies, provides a review and assessment of research in higher education. The results of the latest assessment (REF2021) were published on 12 May 2022.

To accompany publication of the results, Professor Mark Jackson and Professor Margot Finn — respectively chair and deputy chair of the History sub-panel for REF2021 — offer an overview of this latest review, its headline findings for History, and their reflections on disciplinary developments since REF2014.

Mark and Margot’s article reflects on some of the main processes and outcomes of the History sub-panel in its assessment of Outputs, Impact, and research Environments.

Fuller details will be provided in the Sub-panel and Main Panel D (Arts and Humanities) reports published later in May. Over the summer, REF will place further information in the public domain on its website. This will include the text of all submitted Impact Case Studies and Environment statements, providing extensive information about historical practice in the UK.

 

RHS Council Elections, 2025: nominations invited

The Royal Historical Society seeks nominations for three Councillor positions to replace serving Council members in November 2025.

Closing date for nominations: Monday 11 August 2025.

The work of the Society is governed by its Council, which comprises ‘Officers’ (Trustees with a specific remit) and ‘Councillors’ (Trustees without portfolio).

Trustees of the Society play a vital role in working on behalf of our Fellows, Members and the wider historian community in establishing our mission, vision and strategy, as well as considering core governance matters that ensure the ongoing sustainability of our charitable work.

The newly-elected Councillors will perform a full and active role in the Society’s governance and its work to champion and support historians of all kinds, the historical profession, and the practice of history. This is an important time for the Society as it prepares its next three-year strategy, 2026-28, under the leadership of its President, Professor Lucy Noakes.

In accordance with By-law XXIV, Fellows of the Royal Historical Society are invited to nominate current Fellows, willing to serve as Councillors for a term of four years that commences in December 2025.

Please see the Society’s website for the institutional affiliations and subject expertise of current Members of Council.

The Society desires that the membership of its Council be fully representative of the community of historians in the United Kingdom.

Nominations must be supported by one Proposer and four Seconders, who are current Ordinary, Retired or Emeritus Fellows of the Society. 

Time commitment required of Councillors

The role of RHS Councillor is an active one, and comes with an expectation that Councillors will undertake a range of duties in addition to attendance at Council meetings. RHS Councillors commit to:

  • attend all or most of the five annual Council meetings which are held in-person and also hybrid
  • attend at least one of the Society’s regional visits during their term on Council
  • serve on one or more committee focusing on specific areas of the Society’s activities (e.g. research policy, education, publishing and membership); and
  • assist the Society in other ways as needed.

Council meetings are held on Fridays five times each year (in February, May, July, September and November) at the Society’s office at University College London, with the option to join online if necessary. Expenses for economy travel and accommodation are reimbursed by the Society. Selected future Council meetings, and accompanying RHS lectures, may also be held across the UK from 2026.

Committee meetings are held online and again take place on Fridays whenever possible.

The Councillors stepping down in November 2025 are: Professor Cait Beaumont, Dr Melissa Calaresu and Professor Rebekah Lee. The Society seeks to replace them with the election of three new members from the current Fellowship.

To submit a nomination for election

Nominations should be made via the RHS Applications Portal

Fellows wishing to stand for election are required to submit a short statement, and then to contact one Proposer and four Seconders via the Application Portal. Proposers in turn submit their supporting statement, and Seconders their electronic signature, via the Portal. Completed nominations are then submitted by the Fellow who wishes to stand for election.

For clarity, all ‘Proposer’ and ‘Seconder’ statements of support must be submitted before the end of the application period.

Fellows wishing to discuss the role of an RHS Councillor prior to standing are very welcome to contact Professor Lucy Noakes, President of the Royal Historical Society, to discuss the role and work of the Society: president@royalhistsoc.org.

The closing date for nominations is: 11.59PM on Monday 11 August 2025.

The election period will begin soon after the closing date, with further details circulated at that time. Results of the election are expected to be announced in October, ahead of the Anniversary Meeting (Friday 21 November 2025).

Fellowships and Fundraising

On 23 March 2022, the Royal Historical Society (RHS), British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) and Past and Present Society (P&P) are offering funding towards three short-term fellowships (minimum 3 months) at higher education institutions in the UK, European Union or elsewhere in continental Europe to provide a place of academic refuge for three scholars from Ukraine.

From 29 March, we are delighted to be joined by the Ecclesiastical History Society (EHS) which is funding a fourth fellowship to provide a place of academic refuge for a scholar from Ukraine active in the study of the history of Christianity.

From 13 April, the German History Society (GHS) has announced funding for a fifth fellowship to support a Ukrainian researcher working on the history of Germany and the German-speaking world in the broadest sense. We are very grateful for the GHS’s involvement and provision of an additional placement.

The RHS and BASEES are also fundraising to provide additional fellowships.

Each grant is worth £5,000 (€6,000) to the Fellow and must be matched by equivalent funds AND / OR in-kind assistance from the host institution (for example, travel, accommodation, meals, office space and IT support, plus insurance) of a financial sum equivalent to £5,000 (€6,000) grant for a minimum duration of three months, to begin as soon as possible.

To best support Ukrainian scholars at risk, we also welcome applications from host institutions willing to offer more than match-funding, whether as a financial sum or in-kind assistance.

Two grants (funded by the RHS and P&P) will be reserved for Ukrainian scholars displaced by the Russian invasion who are undertaking historical research in the broadest sense. A third grant (funded by the EHS) will support a Ukrainian scholar of the history of Christianity.

One grant (funded by BASEES) will be for any displaced Ukrainian scholar in the field of Slavonic and East European studies. Host institutions can offer these fellowships to PhD candidates, Early Career and established scholars.

How to make an application

  • The host institution names a scholar at risk who will be designated an RHS/BASEES/P&P/EHS/GHS Fellow.
  • The host institution will support the integration of the Fellow into the local academic community.
  • The host institution will appoint a designated mentor to support the Fellow.
  • The host institution will support the Fellow in drafting and submitting applications for long-term funding and/or more permanent academic positions at the host or another HE institution.
  • The host institution will match-fund each Fellowship via a direct payment to the Fellow; and/or provide an equivalent in-kind contribution (comprising accommodation, meals etc.)
  • In addition, the host institution will provide the Fellow with library, internet, and research resource access, and health insurance, as well as visa support if applicable.
  • The length of the fellowship is a minimum of three months.

 

Applications from the host institution must be submitted via the RHS’s online application system.

The closing date for applications from host institutions was Wednesday 20 April 2022, however applications for the Fellowship on the History of Germany and the German Speaking World now closes on Monday 9 May 2022.

 

The following information will be required:

  • information on the support provided by the hosting institution, including intended dates of the fellowship

BALH ‘Meanwhile Nearby’ historical resource – call for contributors

BALH is currently in discussions with education experts at the University of Reading to develop an exciting new education resource for local history, and we are reaching out to our members and member societies for your help and expertise.

‘Meanwhile Nearby’ is a fantastic resource that allows teachers to bring more local history into the classroom, by getting pupils to research (and then discuss in class) local history that was happening at the same time as the topics that they are studying in their taught curriculum. BALH is now teaming up with this project, to provide expertise and support for teachers across the country.

To accomplish this, we are looking for volunteers from amongst our members to help to identify stories and locate resources which could be used to build a ‘Meanwhile Nearby…’ resource.

A list of potential projects has already been identified, and we are looking for contributions in the following areas:

– London in the Industrial Revolution (particularly the Clapham area)

– The impact of the Industrial Revolution in the Cotswolds

– The slave trade and local landowners in Northumberland

– Working women in Derry (NI) in the Industrial Revolution.

This resource will be hosted on BALH’s new educational resources web section and used by teachers across the country.

If you feel you might be able to help BALH in this exciting new collaboration

Please get in touch with Claire Kennan at digital@balh.org.uk

More information and example resources can be found at https://meanwhileelsewhereinhistory.wordpress.com/meanwhile-nearby/

We look forward to hearing from you!!

Professor Linda Colley – RHS Prothero Lecture 2020

“What happens when a Written Constitution is printed? A History across Boundaries”

 

Professor Linda Colley FBA
Tuesday 8 December 2020

 

 

 

Watch the Lecture

 

Abstract

From 1750 onwards, the rate at which new constitutions were generated in different countries and continents markedly increased. By the First World War, written and published political devices of this sort already existed in parts of every continent barring Antarctica.

Yet for all the magnitude and diversity of this transformation, the history of written constitutions is often rigidly compartmentalized. Although constitutions spread rapidly across the world’s oceans and land frontiers, they have usually been examined only in the context of individual countries. Although they have been – and occasionally and arguably still are – tools of empire, they are generally interpreted only in terms of the rise of nationalism.  And although these are authored texts, and many of those designing them in the past were engaged in multiple forms of writing, written constitutions have rarely attracted the attention of literary scholars. Instead, these documents have tended to become the province of legal experts and students of constitutional history, itself an increasingly unfashionable discipline in recent decades.

In this lecture, Linda Colley looks at the dense, vital and varied links between constitutions and print culture as a means of resurrecting and exploring some of the trans-national and trans-continental exchanges and discourses involved. She also considers the challenges posed to written constitutions – now embedded in all but three of the world’s countries – by the coming of a digital age.

 

Linda Colley is Shelby M.C.Davis 1958 Professor of History at Princeton University. She was born in the UK, and is a Fellow of the British Academy. She is the author of six books and holds seven honorary degrees. Her latest work, The Gun, the Ship and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions and the Making of the Modern World, was published in March 2021.

Presenting your work

Mary Vincent writes:

Mary Vincent LSA history PhD establishes expertise. The focus is on knowledge, interpreting that knowledge and situating it within a published literature. This is careful, detailed work, referenced with full scholarly apparatus. But none of that knowledge actually matters if it stays locked up inside the researcher’s own head. Presenting your work is about communicating that knowledge, often to different audiences.This is a skill in its own right and, ironically, the scholarly skills learnt over the course of a PhD are poor preparation for it.

Historians in our own field or subfield are in some ways the least intimidating audience. They understand and appreciate the detail and subtle debates you are engaging with and will need far less in the way of context or introduction. But such audiences are rare. Even at an academic conference you are likely to be speaking to people with different specialist interests, whether of period, place or theme.  Making what you are saying accessible and intelligible is key.

Preparing and presenting a seminar paper

There is a lot of advice available on the internet; some of it is extremely detailed and not all of it is good.  UK and US university websites are a reliable source of sensible advice but this can be prescriptive, and not all of it will work for you.  READ MORE

Preparing and presenting a conference paper

Conference papers are shorter than seminar papers—commonly twenty minutes—and run more tightly to time.  You will present as part of a panel, and you should determine the kind of audience you are speaking to—whether specialist or general, historical or interdisciplinary—and be clear as to how long you have to speak. READ MORE

Intervening in academic discussion

Questions after a seminar or conference paper provide an important opportunity to participate in academic debate.  This can be nerve-racking.  Some university cultures have a robust style of questioning, which can lead to a critique, for example from the panel chair, to which you are expected to reply. In others, questions are much longer than the repartee style of question and answer than is common in Britain.  Try to find out as much as you can in advance about what to expect. READ MORE

What happens in a viva?

A PhD viva is a unique opportunity to discuss your research with two experts. They will have read every word of your thesis and all their attention will be on you and your work.  Though any examination is nerve-racking, you should try to enjoy the viva; this detailed, thoughtful consideration of your work doesn’t happen very often.

Recordings for the 2024 President’s Address now available

‘War and Peace: Mass Observation, Memory and the Ends of the Second World War in Britain’

 

About the event

Why does the Second World War continue to have such a hold over the popular imagination in early 21st century Britain? From Brexit to Covid, sporting competitions to environmental disasters, many public events are understood through reference to the Second World War and in particular the ‘signal events’ of 1940: Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. Unlike the First World War, the memory of this second conflict is largely positive, focused on an imagined past in which people came together in adversity, overcoming the divisions of social class, political belief, and economics that had so divided 1930s Britain to defeat- against the odds – a powerful and ambitious enemy. In short, the Second World War is still widely remembered as Britain’s ‘finest hour’.

In this talk, entitled ‘War and Peace: Mass Observation, Memory and the Ends of the Second World War in Britain’, Lucy Noakes will outline the history of this memory and argue that it has a particular resonance in times of turmoil and instability. Looking back at the ways Mass Observers were beginning to construct a memory of the war as it came to an end, in similarly uncertain times, this talk explores the ways in which people make use of the past in order to understand their presents.

Audio and video recordings of the panel event are now available.

Ministry of Justice abandons plans to digitise and destroy print copies of post-1858 wills

The Royal Historical Society is very pleased to learn that the UK Ministry of Justice has abandoned a proposal, made by the previous government, to destroy print copies of post-1858 wills following their digitisation.

The decision is contained in a government response, published on 8 January 2025. This follows a consultation in Spring 2024 in which the Society — along with more than 100 organisations and 1,500 individuals — took part.

The original proposal (December 2023) concerned the future retention of wills as present-day and historical documents. Currently, HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) holds the original paper version of wills proved since 1858, following the Court of Probate Act (1857). The HMCTS also creates digital copies of wills granted probate in or after 2021.

The proposal would have seen: i. a timescale of 25 years for the retention of the paper copies of wills digitised since 2021; and ii. digitisation of all wills dating from 1858, and the corresponding destruction of the original paper versions of these documents upon digitisation. Exceptions to the wholesale destruction of the post-1858 archive were proposed for wills of selected ‘famous people’ (with Charles Darwin given as an example). The context for this proposal was the size and cost of the will storage service, estimated at £4.5 million per annum.

The Ministry’s report on the consultation, published on 8 January, notes ‘the large number of responses and the very heartfelt nature of those responses’ on an issue ‘which engaged high levels of public interest and concern. There was strong opposition to any destruction of original wills or other documents. This was for a variety of reasons in terms of both a national historical resource and also for individual legal challenges.’ As a result:

The Government accepts the compelling case that has been made by respondents … and has therefore determined not to proceed with any reforms that involve the destruction of original wills and supporting documents currently designated for permanent preservation.

The January document summarises responses to each of the questions raised, including the viability — or otherwise — of retaining paper copies of wills for ‘famous people’ of ‘historic interest’. This provoked extensive criticism, leading the Ministry to conclude that ‘the responses to this question illustrated the difficulties in any attempt to distinguish between people, and some strong points were made on recognising the historic record of all wills that the Government acknowledges.’

While yesterday’s response removes the threat of destruction of print copies of wills, the Ministry closes with a comment on the enduring costs of document storage. Future actions, it notes, may include a review of charges to access print copies of wills, and the inability to extend systematic digitisation to wills proved before 2021.
