Family and Community Historical Research Society
Our society is open to anyone interested in participating in family and community historical research.

The aims of the Society are to promote and communicate research in family and community history, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of locally based micro-studies, especially through collaborative research.

Over the years, major projects have resulted in books on the Swing Riots, 19th century Allotments, and Almshouses and a number of mini-projects that have proved immensely popular, with 30-40 per cent of Society members taking part.

In addition we run an annual mini project, usually based on an occupation, which have led to interesting collections of articles which may be published in the Newsletter.

Our academic journal FACH is published in three volumes per year which are included in membership.

We hold an annual conference in May which also gives us the opportunity to meet members from all over the country.
