Latest Victoria County Histories newsletter

The latest newsletter on the Victoria County Histories is now available at www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/publications-projects/newsletters - it includes news of a forthcoming conference from the Institute of Historical research entitled The Great War At Home, scheduled for July 2nd - 4th 2014, and various new developments with the VCH itself, including a new published volume for Staffordshire.

Also of note "Those volumes of the Victoria County History which are already online (on British History Online) are now available for searching on Connected Histories (www.connectedhistories.org)." Not sure if this is a new development or not, but worth flagging up anyway!
