If anyone remembers that list which said historians were second in line to be replaced by AI, I've had some thoughts about it... and how it relates to some aspects of public history and the current climate facing historians.

Well that was good! Thank you so much to all the speakers and delegates for making our first joint conference with the Pre-Modern Towns Group so enlivening and stimulating. It's #EAUH2026 in Barcelona next year but watch this space for news of #UHG2027!
Setting up for #UHG2025
