The British Commission for Maritime History

Conferences

Giving papers at conferences is an important way of disseminating research and getting early input. The BCMH supports some places at key conferences through a small number of bursaries.

The main conference of the year is the New Researchers Conference which is for researchers who are new to maritime history. This is a key annual event and attracts a wide audience that includes many respected maritime and naval historians.
