Manchester Centre for Public History & Heritage

The Manchester Centre for Public History & Heritage, formally the Manchester Centre for Regional History (MCRH), was set up in 1998 with the aim of building upon the University’s research strengths in the history of Manchester and the North-West of England, and has a particular commitment to community history. The Centre organises events which bring together history scholars, practitioners and enthusiasts, and encourages collaborative, multi-disciplinary projects with a broad range of institutions, groups and individuals who are interested in innovative research into communities, localities, and regions. The Centre produces the Manchester Region History Review, the region’s leading local history magazine with its wide range of articles covering all aspects of the region’s history.
