The Society was founded in 1957 to promote interest in the local history of Huntingdonshire and throughout the year provides a programme of lectures, events, excursions and publications.

Viscountess Hinchingbrooke – President of the Society

The Society is delighted to announce that Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke,  has accepted our invitation to become President of Huntingdonshire Local History Society. 

Lectures: The Society organises lectures on a monthly basis throughout the winter months. Lectures are generally linked to Huntingdonshire history with subjects that range from archaeology to aviation.

Excursions: The Society organises evening or day excursions to local places of historical interest during the summer month, those that are further afield by full –day coach trips. A weekend excursion is organised in May.

Goodliff Awards: Each year the Society makes awards to projects supporting the preservation of the history of Huntingdonshire.

Publications: Our journal, Records of Huntingdonshire, contains short articles of high quality on all aspects of Huntingdonshire History. Twice a year we publish the Almanack with information about Society activities.
