Richmond History is now a four-times award-winner
Our journal, Richmond History, has now received an award as London’s best local history journal for four years in a row.
At the London & Middlesex Archaeological Society (LAMAS)’s annual Local History Conference, held at the London Museum Docklands in November 2024, our Society received a certificate and a £100 prize for Richmond History 44 (our 2024 issue) which won in the Journal category at LAMAS’s Local History Publications Awards.
LAMAS’s publications committee described Richmond History 42 (our 2021/22 issue), with its cover story on international tennis star Betty Nuthall, as “providing a winning mix of topics about the local catchment area, accompanied with good illustrations and photos”. Our journal, it said, was “entertaining, well referenced and easy to read”.
Copies of all four issues, which include some pages in colour – are available from our online bookshop. They can also be bought at Kew Bookshop, the Museum of Richmond, The National Archives’ shop and The Open Book in Richmond.
The latest issue of our journal, Richmond History 44, was published in November 2023. Find out more, and order a copy
