An letter in the East Anglian Daily Times, 2024-07-15.  A reminder of past excursions and of our debt to the pioneer researchers who helped to advance our knowledge of our rich heritage of historic buildings and sites. Let us know (via the Hon Sec) if you also have interesting memories or images of past excursions!  'History of historical studies' like this is a sort of historiography, but perhaps not the in the usual sense - can anyone suggest a better term?

A new item in the SIAH document archive is now available: Nick Amor's spreadsheet of data on labour litigation, associated with his forthcoming paper in the Journal of Medieval History.
