The Historical Association, founded in 1906, is a charity which brings together people who share an interest in, and love for, history. It promotes the study, teaching and enjoyment of history at all levels. Members have access to lectures and events nationally and at over 60 local branches. They receive a copy of one of four journals, depending on their specific interests: Primary History, Teaching History (for secondary teachers), The Historian (general interest) or History (for academics). There is also a website, which is being constantly updated, offering history resources for parents and teachers, details of events and activities, and lots more useful information from the world of history. A monthly e-mail newsletter is also sent out to members with news, conferences and exhibitions, web reviews and conferences. Special promotions give readers a discount on selected books and on visits to museums and stately homes. Membership is open to everybody.
