Message from our chair - Marian Morrison

Seasons Greetings and welcome to 2024 at the Forum.

The new year finds your committee beavering away with several projects linked to improving what we offer to the membership. The focus of things for spring will be the Annual General Meeting and your opportunity to shape the Forum and what it does in the name of the members. We are trying to freshen up our image and make sure the Forum is "Fit for Purpose" to use a business expression. Now I am sure you don't want to hear me bleating on it's just we don't want to make changes if you all really like the old ways but feedback to the committee is sparse and I am sure that the silent majority will have some fantastic suggestions that could be useful for our future.

Clearly history, heritage and archaeology are popular with the public when looking at the many hours of coverage on TV channels so there should be a place for the Forum to support the people who don't yet know they want more in their local area than just watching the telly. We need to be there in the future when they are looking to join in and get involved.

So see you at the AGM with all your positive and negative comments for the committee and any advice you have for us.

County Durham Forum for History & Heritage

A voluntary association of local history societies and groups, heritage organisations and individuals interested in sharing and promoting the history and heritage of County Durham.

Aims of the Forum

  • The Forum exists to promote and facilitate member organisations in celebrating, researching and raising awareness of the history and heritage of County Durham.
  • The Forum provides an avenue for communication and sharing of information between members and the wider community thus creating an opportunity for learning through sharing skills and knowledge.

Zooming your Group Meetings

As Zoom has provided the Forum with a very effective way of keeping in touch with our members, we have decided to make our annual Zoom subscription available for Forum members to host their own Zoom meetings or talks. In order to bring this about, we have devised a free booking system, for details go to Book Zoom Group Meeting
