Centre for Historical Studies (CHS)

Description

The Centre for Historical Studies is a lively hub for the discussion of the past and for the dissemination of historical knowledge. The centre is based in the Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology at the University of Northampton and is comprised of academic historians who also work with colleagues in other subject areas, such as Journalism and English, as well as external partners outside of the Higher Education sector.

The centre is particularly focused on developing collaborative partnerships across the UK and beyond. Its partnerships include institutions such as English Heritage, Northamptonshire Archives and Heritage and local sports clubs such as Northampton Saints RFC and Northamptonshire Country Cricket Club. The centre also includes the Searchlight Archive, a collection of material related to the history of the extreme right and antifascism of international importance.

The centre's aims are to develop an environment conducive to high quality and impactful research and to promote the value of history as a vital subject of enquiry best suited to answering the key questions and challenges of modern times.
