Centre for regional and local historical research
The centre for regional and local historical research (CRLHR) was established in 1995. It reflects the particular strength of regional and local history at Teesside University. The CRLHR:
- raises the profile, nationally and internationally, of the history of north-eastern England
- creates the prerequisites in terms of research culture and research links
- facilitates the teaching of the history of north-eastern England at undergraduate and postgraduate levels
- enhances the University’s role in the community.
- disseminates the results of research to the general public through seminars, conferences and its series of Papers in North East England History.
Papers in North East England history
Northern region film and television archive
CRLHR works closely with the Northern Region Film and Television archive housed in the University.
Community links
CRLHR has enduring links with the wider community. It holds regular conferences at the University in association with the Cleveland and Teesside History Society.
The CRLHR became a constituent part of the Arts and Humanities Research Centre for North East England History, based at each of the five North East universities, which continue to work closely together as the North East England History Institute (NEEHI) which has held a series of conferences and symposia, as well as an international colloquium on Regions and Regionalism in History.
