Dear Diane Elizabeth Huntington Loring,
I am delighted to inform you that at its last meeting on 3 May 2024, Council elected you a Postgraduate Member of the Royal Historical Society (RHS) in recognition of your programme of study for a higher degree relating to History.
As a Postgraduate Member you join a group of researchers, many of whom will seek to work in a field relating to History. In creating this new category of membership, the Society recognises the particular experience of higher degree students. The Postgraduate Membership seeks to provide you with tailored support to assist you during your degree and afterwards. We hope you will enjoy your association with the RHS and that you will continue your association with the Society on completion of your studies by moving to another of our membership categories.
The RHS acts as a champion of History, both inside universities and within our culture, and as a Postgraduate Member you are invited to take full part in our work and events. Our events are an important opportunity to meet together as historians, in-person or online. You are very welcome to
attend all our lectures, panel discussions, conferences and training workshops, as well as the receptions that follow many of these events.
