History Courses

Certificate in Local History

Are you a family historian who would like to learn how to find out more about the context in which your ancestors lived? Or perhaps you are interested in the history of your house or community, and would like to find out how you can develop your research skills so that you can discover more for yourself. Or perhaps you are a complete beginner who wants to find out about local history? Then this course is designed for you. Beginners can find out about local history; the more experienced can improve their research. This course is open to all.

A new course commences at Keele on 3 October and will consider themes and skills in modern local history, including family history, the census, transport and industry, townscapes, poverty, leisure, education and religion. New students may be accepted up to the end of October. For further advice contact Dr Philip Morgan.
