Institute of Historical Research

Final Phase of the IHR’s Redevelopment Campaign: Invest in the IHR!

The IHR is only a few months from moving back to a newly refurbished space. We are just £160,000 away from our fundraising campaign target. Please consider investing in the physical fabric of the IHR to make a unique contribution to the Institute’s future. Many of your colleagues have done so already and we hope that you will join them.
