The Institute of Historical Research

The Institute of Historical Research was founded in 1921 to address the limited opportunities for historical research and training in the UK.

The IHR was significant in its aim to place the UK historical profession in a global context, bringing international scholars together in a variety of fora. It was designed to provide historically informed research to the government, to serve as a repository of bibliographic information, to be a testing ground for new historical ideas and methods, and a meeting place for historians of all nationalities.
