Promoting research and publication in the field of Scottish history
The Scottish Historical Review Trust brings together academics, heritage professionals and other interested people from many institutions who all share a passion for Scottish history. Working with the editors of our journal and monograph series, Trustees aim to enable and ensure new research in the field.
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), charity number SC045296. We are committed to investing in the future of Scottish History and direct our annual profits towards five specific activities: bursaries for individuals and in support of conferences or workshops that align with our mission; a mid-career researcher award; an early career research article prize; additional expenses associated with publishing the Scottish Historical Review; and the Jenny Wormald Lecture.
