Socialist History Society

Last updated

The Socialist History Society (SHS) is a British organisation which publishes a twice-yearly journal, Socialist History, mainly about the history of the socialist and labour movements in Britain. [1] It also publishes a series of pamphlets [2] on single themes once or twice a year, and a members' newsletter. It hosts lectures online and in-person, and organises occasional symposia and similar events.

It was founded in 1992 as the successor to the Communist Party Historians Group. [1] [3] However the SHS is not now linked to any political party or ideological tendency, and full membership is available to anybody regardless of party affiliation. [1]

SHS's current president, is Dr. Matthew Brown, with Dr. Chris Williams serving as the Secretary. [4]
