Abstract
Over the summer, the Royal Historical Society, Institute of Historical Research, and The National Archives hosted three lunchtime conversations as part of their annual programme of ‘History and Archives in Practice’ (HAP 24). These conversations completed a set of events on this year’s theme, ‘Historical Legacies’, which included the annual HAP day conference held in March, this year in partnership with Cardiff University. The three lunchtime sessions combined videos of projects and discussions with the archivists and historians responsible. Over three weeks, we explored the theme of legacies via history and archiving of portrait photography, documentary film making in 1970s London, and an oral history project recording experiences of the Covid lockdown.
