GET INVOLVED WITH LOCAL HISTORY HUB
Local History Hub is a growing, teacher-led initiative built from the ground up. We believe history is more than dates and facts—it’s about people, places, and the stories that shape our communities.
Our mission is to bring local history to life by connecting schools, heritage sites, and communities across the UK. Whether you're a teacher, academy trust, heritage professional, local authority, or community leader, there’s a place for you in this grassroots movement.
