Connecting people through histories and heritage

History Matters. It connects people with those who've gone before and those who'll come after. We support people to explore these connections. We run a yearlong programme of activity and the biennial Manchester Histories Festival.

'We believe that history belongs to everyone. Each one of us has a story to tell and a history to relate, and every person's and every group's history matters.'

Professor Hannah Barker, Chair of Manchester Histories
