'The Centre runs a Masters degree in West Midlands History, an annual conference, day schools and other public events. It provides support for projects and works with heritage professionals and independent scholars in the wider community. The Friends of the Centre for West Midlands History is a recent initiative.'

Winter Lecture Series 'For more than 40 years, the Centre of East Anglian Studies has been at the heart of research into the region and its wider national and international context. Whilst detailed scholarly research will always remain as the fundamental basis for the Centre’s work, CEAS has also been committed to the dissemination of such a wider audience.'

ALERT This Record was originally used to reference the Vaughan Archaeological and Historical Society - and, in particular, the Annual W G Hoskins Lecture. That Lecture has more recently been organized by the Friends of the Centre for English Local History - so I am citing here that Organization instead. The Friends 'are an active and enthusiastic group of local historians, with a wide range of interests. Members may attend the Thursday afternoon seminars held in Leicester, receive our annual Newsletter and join any of the events on our programme, which include outings, study days or weekends and conferences'.

‘The MCPHH emphasis on encouraging communities and individuals to engage actively with history builds on the long-established work of the Manchester Centre for Regional History, established in 1998.’

'The Centre is involved in a programme of regular activities that are open to the public. These include a series of study days on various subjects, an annual archaeology forum and periodic workshops.'
