Peterborough Local History Society (PLHS) is a member of the British Association for Local History (BALH).  The Association organises various events throughout the year, some which can be attended in person and others which can be joined virtually. Also, BALH, in collaboration with their Education Partner Pharos Tutors, have created two online courses on topics of family history and genealogy-related subjects.

Members of PLHS can benefit from discounted fees for many of the Association’s events.

There are also “Ten Minute Talks” and podcasts, which can be accessed free of charge. Do take a moment to look at the BALH website, which can be found below.
