About us


History Matters is a shared blog from the Department of History, University of Sheffield. Written by Sheffield historians (staff, students, alumni, and friends), here you’ll find cutting-edge research, the history behind the headlines, and why we think history really matters.

The current blog editor is Sebastian Gehrig supported by Riley Jackson. If you would like to get in touch, they’d be delighted to hear from you.
