John Broad's History Pages

The History pages will include access to unpublished papers, and in particular to English versions of papers published in foreign language books and journals.

Since I retired from London Metropolitan University in 2009 I have been actively pursuing my historical interests as well as travel and leisure activities. I am active in the British Agricultural History Society, chairing their executive committee and acting as webmaster for their website www.bahs.org.uk where our developing activities include making The Agricultural Review available online via Ingenta and JSTOR, as well as retaining the availability of backnumbers more than five years old on our website.

I also chair the Buckinghamshire Record Society, where we will publish a new volume in our Records series (Winslow Court Rolls) this year. Ongoing projects include the completion and updating of the digitised Quarter Sessions Records volumes, and a new project to digitise Buckinghamshire newspapers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to complement the British Library's growing collection of digital provincial newspapers.

I have recently taken on the post of Editor of the Records of Buckinghamshire which publishes articles and notes primarily of historical and archaeological interest.

My current projects include work in a number of areas - see the link.
