Young Historians Project Logo

The Young Historians Project (YHP) is a collective formed to encourage the development of young historians of African and Caribbean heritage in Britain. YHP aims to serve as a space for young people to grow not only as historians – but also as researchers, writers, editors, speakers, and creatives. With a focus on Black British history, YHP creates multi-dimensional public history projects based on original research. YHP hopes to engage the public in learning about diverse and underrepresented histories in Britain.
