Historic Lancaster

LHPC Histfest

Lancaster Historical Postgraduate Conference (LHPC) is an annual, international postgraduate conference organised by postgraduate students in our Department. The conference has run since 1995.

LPHC is organised by PhD and MA students in the History Department of Lancaster University and is designed to provide a supportive and constructive space for postgraduates and ECRs to present their research.

The conference is a vibrant and stimulating event attended by researchers from the UK and overseas. Each LHPC provides an opportunity to present research in a welcoming environment. The conference and first-day dinner also provide excellent networking opportunities for speakers.

We look forward to marking the 30th anniversary of 'Histfest' at LHPC 2025. Details will be shared soon.
