History Day at DCDC21

History Day was created in 2014 to bring history collections closer to researchers of all kinds. For DCDC21, there will be a special afternoon of free online events to showcase the value of collaborations between collections staff and researchers.

The afternoon will start with a panel session featuring the Royal Society Library and the Salvation Army International Heritage Centre presenting their exciting recent projects that have created ground-breaking new research uncovering historical collections.

There will then be a special iteration of the annual History Day fair, where you can discover history collections from across the UK and talk to the collections professionals that curate them.

The afternoon will end with a virtual networking session for postgraduate and early career researchers hosted by History Lab, the national network for postgraduate students in history and related disciplines.

No matter if you’re a student, academic, independent researcher or fellow information professional, everyone is welcome.
