Voluntary Action History Society

The Voluntary Action History Society (VAHS) aims to advance the historical understanding and analysis of voluntary action. VAHS is run by a small committee of volunteers and has a growing membership of individuals and organisations. We are based in the UK but have members from across the world and work closely with international colleagues. A registered charity since 1995, VAHS carries out a number of activities including:

• Seminar series held once a month at the Institute of Historical Research, London.
• Economic History Society-sponsored postgraduate workshops held throughout the UK.
• Biennial research conferences.
• Occasional conferences and symposia.

For more information about VAHS, to join the mailing list, or if you are interested in giving a paper as part of our seminar series please contact Georgina Brewis, Publicity Secretary
