At our annual #VCHDay today, we'll be sharing this brilliant new infographic, created by our colleague Ruth Slatter. The Victoria County History: a national - and global - local history project! #place #history #local #global

What a fantastic #VCHDay yesterday! Thank you to our VCH friends & colleagues who travelled from all across England to join us. It was great to catch up, do business, and explore VCH archive & Senate House Library special collections together. We'll share photos over the coming days.

You're going to hear the word #local a lot today... In the Victoria County History, we think about the local every day - and have done for 125 years! Today we're bringing together experts in places & their histories from across England for our annual #VCHDay . Safe travels!

I just hung my son's Very Hungry Caterpillar drawing yesterday!

Happy Very Hungry Caterpillar Day!

What's special about the VCH?
What opportunities are there for the VCH?
Thanks for all your ideas and input!

It was wonderful to be at my 2nd #VCHDay yesterday. It marked a year of me being part of the Victoria County History Centre for the History of People Place & Community & Institute of Historical Research team! It’s a massive privilege to be part of all these communities & as ever I learnt a huge amount yesterday from all our amazing VCH contributors

With their myriad of activities the VCH is central to so much English local history research and a lynch-pin, whether in physical or digital format, to the IHR library's #localhistory collections.

This may be of particular interest to members of the Victoria County History community who have Seely & Paget churches in their areas of research. Happening the day before #VCHDay less than 2 miles from Institute of Historical Research you could make a bigger trip of it!
