British Association for Local History.

Formed in 1973, we are the official co-ordinating body for local history in the  County Palatine of Lancaster. We have members as far apart as Tatham to the north and Warrington to the south, Fleetwood to the west and Saddleworth to the east. Whether you are interested in Local History, Family History, Archaeology or Industrial Archaeology, if there is a bearing on Lancashire in your field of research, one or more of our member societies will be able to help.

We are aiming to give viewers to the website more to educate, inform and entertain them so besides the PDF of the complete current Newsletters on the Publications page, parts of the Newsletter have been added to the Research Articles so you can investigate further.

​

SEE THE LATEST NEWS PAGE to find the book in tribute to our own Doctor Alan Crosby which can be ordered there.​ 

Through this website, we hope that you will continue to find out more about the Federation and maybe even consider joining us either as a society or an individual. Please visit the Member Societies page with links to all the member societies of the Federation. Check them out, they may have further information that you are looking for!
