Become a Friend of the MCPHH

The Friends of the MCPHH brings together individuals and organisations keen to share and develop their knowledge of the history of Manchester and its region. Originally launched in 2003 as the Friends of the MCPH, we complement the aims and activities of the Manchester Centre for Public History and Heritage. With our regular presentations and talks, guided walks and visits, we offer a friendly and stimulating focus for people of all backgrounds who share a passion for research into their localities and region. The Friends’ regular informal meetings are held at the University’s campus on Oxford Road, Manchester, and we look forward to providing you with a warm welcome.
