On 5 March 2025, the Royal Historical Society will co-host the this year’s History and Archives in Practice day conference (HAP25), jointly organised with our partners The National Archives and Institute of Historical Research. HAP is an opportunity for historians and archivists to come together to discuss current projects and the intersection between historical and archival practice.

This year’s event takes the theme of ‘Working with Memory: History, Storytelling and Practices of Remembrance’ and brings together 28 presentations from historians and archivists. The programme for this year’s event, which is fully booked, is now available.

This year’s History and Archives in Practice takes place at Senate House, University of London. In alternate years, HAP is held in association with a fourth UK partner institution and details of the partner and, following an open call, the location for HAP26 will be announced on 5 March.
