The Society offers a range of grants and prizes in support of those undertaking research into Economic and/or Social History at all levels, including undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral.
The Society will consider applications for small grants for undergraduate projects in economic and social history. The projects must be for final degree examinations in United Kingdom colleges and universities. The amount awarded will not normally be over £250.
In conjunction with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), we offer up to four one-year postdoctoral Fellowships in economic and/or social history, tenable at the Institute.
The Social History Society, Economic History Society, and History UK have established this funding scheme to support Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) history in the UK.
The course, organised and administered by the Institute of Historical Research and supported by the Economic History Society, is an introduction, through arranged visits and lectures, to historical methods and to the sources available in London.
The T.S. Ashton Prize, established with funds donated by the late Professor T.S. Ashton (1889-1968), will be awarded annually, at the Annual Conference, to the author of the best article accepted for publication in the Economic History Review in the previous two calendar years.
