Lists of local history speakers

A number of local history associations maintain lists of local history speakers for their areas. Here we provide links to those lists which are available online and contact details for those which aren't. A link is also provided to the organisation maintaining the lists, in case the link direct to the lists disappears. If you have a list of local history speakers in your area, and would like it included in this list, please contact us.
