Royal Historical Society
A.W. Ward, an early RHS President ©RHS
The Royal Historical Society (RHS), initially the Historical Society for Great Britain, was founded in 1868, and has subsequently evolved from being a club for scholarly gentlemen to a body for those engaged professionally in the study of the past (whether in archives, libraries, museums or the heritage industry). The RHS aims to maintain professional standards within the discipline, and to represent the views of its membership to government bodies and to the public at large. As well as producing the RHS Bibliography it has published its Transactions, a yearly compilation of papers read to the Society, continually since 1972.
