GLHA news

In September 2024, Ray Wilson stepped down from his role as GLHA website manager after creating the site and maintaining it for 23 years. Member groups were very appreciative of his work and thanked him warmly for his outstanding contribution to local history in Gloucestershire and beyond. Dr Wilson is continuing to develop his other websites including Glosdocs which aims to make local history documents and photographs more easily accessible online.

Members of the GLHA committee have taken over the management of the website with Vicki Walker responsible for site updates, Mary Sullivan for the Speakers List and David Jones for the Local Societies Events List. We hope that local historians will continue to visit the site to find out what member groups are doing, and to get ideas for speakers for their own groups. Please visit the website at https://gloshistory.org.uk/

The committee have arranged Forum meetings for representatives of member groups for the whole of 2025, details of which can be found on the website. There will also be a Summer Afternoon meeting to be held at Stonehouse on Sunday June 29th. Details and how to book tickets will be published in April.
