This is History Day’s 10th year! But what makes it so special? We asked previous participants what brings them back year after year. Find out for yourself by signing up for #HistDay24 at buff.ly/3zyvHLE (attendance is free!). What will you discover? #HistDay24

📜 Have you visited @theUL's latest exhibition yet? Book your ticket now to see exceptionally rare #manuscripts from Asia and North Africa, the majority of which are believed to be going on show for the very first time: bit.ly/3zRwXcP

This weekend there will have been numerous Apple Days across the country, including Cambridgeshire, so to celebrate we thought we’d share a ‘pick of the bunch’ from the Lillian Ream of Wisbech collection Lilian Ream/Z104, Z107 and Z277

Take a look at our new research guide to some of our India-related collections: buff.ly/3Y8FDUu (you may expect to see some of them, but one may be a surprise)

The next Dissertation & Research Fair will take place on Thursday 13th March 2025, 12-4pm, at the Student Services Centre. More information about the 2025 fair will be shared in the coming months. #DissRes25
