The recent opening up of the History Workshop
archive at Ruskin College – in addition to the Raphael
Samuel Archive at the Bishopsgate Institute –
provides new opportunities for thinking about
History. The History Workshops held in the 1960s, 70s and
80s provided particular opportunities for wide-
ranging discussions of History and its application in
the present.
While discussion of the past in the public domain has
arguably opened up extensively, History in schools,
colleges, universities and adult education is
circumscribed by different constraints to those of
the early years of the History Workshop.
What are the possibilities now of practising radical
history-making? Is democratic scholarship viable –
and what forms can it take? What new forms of
engagement are possible? What have we learned and
what should be left in the past? What different roles
might History have in local and community activism?
Plenary Presenters: Dr Anna Davin, Professor Jorma Kalela, Professor Marjorie Mayo, Professor Ken Jones and over 20 workshop presentations
