About the Society
Structure of the Society
The Social History Society was founded in 1976, by Professor Harold Perkin (11 November 1926 - 16 October 2004).
The Society is based in Lancaster, which acts as the administrative centre of the Society. Linda Persson is in charge of the daily running of the Society, receiving membership enquiries and forms, organising the Bulletins, despatching conference correspondence etc.

The Society has four officers and an executive committee. The officers and members of the executive committee are elected by postal ballot, and the results are announced at the annual general meeting, held during the annual conference. Anyone who has been a member of the Society for a year is eligible to stand for committee membership. The Economic History Society appoints a representative to the executive committee (the Social History Society is also represented on the council of the Economic History Society).
The current officers and executive committee members of the Social History Society are listed below.
