Symposium

Each year HALH organises a Symposium on Hertfordshire history, with a number of speakers, usually with a linking theme.  The event normally takes place on the first Saturday in November.  Local history societies from around the county have stalls where they sell their publications and display their latest research.  The day is the highlight of the local history calendar in Hertfordshire, and is a great opportunity to hear local history experts, talk to fellow enthusiasts, and buy the latest publications.  A light lunch is available, and coffee and tea is provided.

Recent symposiums have been organised on:
