History Day: Discover Collections
History Day is a free annual event bringing together students, researchers and anyone with an interest in history with collections professionals from galleries, libraries, archives, museums and research organisations. This website brings together content from across the heritage sector and extends our annual in-person History Day event to give year-round access to collections online.
In 2025 we had two History Day events:
- History Day took place on Tuesday 4 November in London - Browse the collections and organisations here
- History Day North took place on Tuesday 29 July in Durham - Browse the collections here
