History in public

Explore the role of history in relation to our everyday lives with the Heritage Hub.

Being aware of history is part of being human. Through history we:

• make sense of the world
• shape our identities as individuals and in society
• frame our understanding of what is going on around us
• gain a historical perspective on current affairs

Help us answer questions about the role of history in people’s lives, and share our experiences of ‘doing history’ with a broad public purpose in mind.
