✨ What an excellent time at the recent @businesshistoryc.bsky.social (#BHC2026), this time as a visitor, to @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social. Loved chairing my roundtable, ‘Applied History in Professional Services’ featuring...

Image of a section of the United Kingdom and Ireland with the text: 'The Royal Historical Society works closely with a number of other UK and Irish societies dedicated to the study, communication and promotion of historical knowledge and understanding. Once a year, the Society hosts a half-day meeting of heads of UK history societies to discuss subjects of shared interest, such as publishing, membership and advocacy for the discipline. The Society also holds regular online meetings with its equivalent national organisations worldwide.'

This week we released a select listing of 100 national history societies active in the UK & Ireland bit.ly/4rANJ52.

These subject specialist societies enable research and promote the value of historical knowledge. Many are membership organisations and invite historians to join them #Skystorians
