Local and Regional History at ICE
Studying local and regional history at ICE involves detailed study of communities and the close reading of original primary documents. Courses tackle particular themes, such as the family or religion, and different time periods.
All good local and regional history relates its findings to the national picture and to the wider findings of other historians.
