CITY OF CARDIFF COUNCIL

Local History Hub Cardiff is here!

We’re building something exciting in Cardiff—a grassroots network of schools, historical sites, and community partners, all working together to share local stories and bring history to life. Our aim is to make Cardiff’s rich past accessible, relevant, and inspiring for young people and their communities.

The hub is being led by Elizabeth Berry (Schools Lead) and Beck Crnoja (Community Lead), who together are shaping a vibrant, collaborative space for local history education.

Our first schools are already coming on board, and we’re starting to map out the stories, people, and places we’ll explore together. Whether you're a teacher, heritage organisation, or a curious local, there will be plenty of ways to connect and contribute.

This page will soon feature updates, stories, and ways to get involved—so watch this space!

To find out more or register your school’s interest, email us at enquiries@localhistoryhub.org.uk
