Raphael Samuel History Centre

Description

The Raphael Samuel History Centre is devoted to encouraging the widest possible participation in historical study and debate.

It is an outreach and research centre supported by a two-way partnership between Birkbeck, University of London and Queen Mary, University of London, dedicated to exploring public, interdisciplinary and experimental history across periods and regions. Named after the historian Raphael Samuel, it also maintains an interest in London history and history from below. It is part funded by the History Workshop Journal.

Supported by a dynamic team of established and early career historians, the Centre runs a large programme of activities designed to foster new approaches to understanding the past and is committed to taking history into the wider community through the centre's educational initiatives and public events. The Centre works with universities, museums, libraries, schools and organisations to create new forums for making history, learning and discussing history.
