The Historical Association is a national independent charity incorporated by Royal Charter. It has been supporting the study and enjoyment of history since 1906. With about 6,000 members, the Association is the major national organisation representing the case for a historical education to policy makers and ministers.
It advises on curriculum issues at all levels and campaigns for access to specialist historical knowledge and collections. The Association continues to support the study, teaching and enjoyment of history at all levels, and today there are over 50 branches around the UK.
The Historical Association Swansea Branch is one of the most active branches in the country. It runs monthly talks at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea, which attract audiences of up to 100. The National President of the Historical Association is a frequent visitor and speaker to the Branch.
The Branch also runs outreach courses in the community and provides outreach speakers to a wide variety of organisations in the area.
An annual event for the Branch is the History and Heritage Fair which is held at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea every year when the Branch is joined by over two dozen organisations promoting local history. On the same day, in collaboration with the Royal Institute of South Wales, the Branch hosts History Day, a day of history talks on local topics.
The Branch has produced a number of publications over the years and in 2020 the new Chronicle was launched which is published annually.
