Hi,

 

I just wondered if anyone could give me any details regarding any history societies in Sheffield please?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I was looking for more a lectures/trips/discussions based group that focussed on 'academic history', as oppose to genealogy, local history etc.

 

Any info on such a society would be greatly appreciated.

There is a Sheffield History site on the net which can be interesting for things you want to know of the Sheffield past.

Thanks for the info.

 

Again it's not just local history groups/societies that I'm after - it's much more general historical debates/lecture societies that i'm seeking.

They are free for the public to attend (or some may be attended for a small fee) but must be booked in advance. I have been to the University's public lectures before and they are excellent.
