The Bedfordshire Local History Association promotes the study of local history within and around Bedfordshire, and provides a forum for discussion and co-operation between interested groups and individuals.

It also seeks to improve communications between local history societies and the broader historical network, including regionally and nationally.

To achieve these aims, a variety of events - walks, visits, lectures, educational workshops, exhibitions and conferences - are organised throughout the county.

Members are also kept informed through a newsletter, History in Bedfordshire, which enables them to exchange views and news and to publish brief articles.  Members can also obtain information and assistance to further their study of local history.

Annual membership is available to individuals (£5.00) or to societies and other bodies (£10.00). Members of such affiliated groups are automatically members of the Association.
