The History Forum offers online talks by professional historians covering a wide range of topics. Presenters have either published books, taught in academic institutions, or become acknowledged experts in their fields through extensive research and writing. We all have a passion to make history interesting, accessible and, where appropriate, fun.
If you cannot attend the live event, recordings will be available on request for seven days after the event.

The History Forum: A Year in Review
The History Forum has now completed its second full year—and it continues to go from strength to strength. We began September 2024 with engaging presentations on Blenheim Palace and its first occupants. Guest speaker and Blenheim social historian, Antonia Keaney, offered fascinating insights into the lives of the palace’s servants.
Our speakers—experts in their fields from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada—covered a rich variety of topics. From the history of the bubonic plague and how Italy became a unified nation, to the rebel empresses of Austria and France and the secret escape operations of WWII pilots, each session brought something new and thought-provoking. We were even treated to a 90-minute virtual tour of the Houses of Parliament led by London-based historian and professional tour guide, Loona Hazarika.

The History Forum looks forward to welcoming you back in September 2025 as we embark on another fascinating journey into the secrets of the past.
Until then, have a wonderful and relaxing summer!
