The Federation of Local History Societies was established in 1981 to promote the interests of amateur historians and voluntary museums and to represent their views. In the intervening years the number of societies has grown to more than one hundred. The aims of the Federation are:

To encourage research in the fields of history, archaeology, folk life and folk lore.
To exchange information among affiliated societies through the medium of newsletters, publications, seminars etc.
To develop mutual support among affiliated societies.
To encourage the publication of information of historical interest and the better utilisation of archives.

FEDERATION MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

Federation News – Membership Renewal
“Notice to all Societies”
Time for membership renewal
It is now well into the year and there are a lot of societies who have not yet paid their membership renewal fee.
Like we have emphasised before we depend almost entirely on our membership subscriptions for our financial survival.!!!
“it is as simple as that”
The only other small income we have is from our Journal sales,

We need this income to survive so we ask societies to please check if the affiliation fee has been paid as this can genuinely sometimes fall between the chairs,

We sincerely thank those societies who have already paid and would ask those who have not yet done so to check this and to please renew their membership.

Thanks for your support, we look forward to hearing from you, so that we can continue to offer you the service you deserve.

Take care
Larry Breen PRO FLHS
