Young Historians Club at the Keep Military Museum

Young Historians is a history club for 14-18 year olds who are interested in history, museums, military history, and gaining practical museum experience while still in education.

We meet weekly at the Keep on Thursday evenings from 5pm-6.30pm, and sessions include object handling, design challenges, archival research, and group project work. We also go on trips to other local museums, including Nothe Fort, Dorset Museum, and Shire Hall Museum. Our most recent project was creating a podcast! Keeping It Real: The Podcast, is currently releasing new episodes every Thursday. Check out our first episode here, and read about it in the Dorset Echo too!

Young Historians is free to attend and everyone is welcome. The Young Historians Manifesto, written by our 2022/23 cohort can be found here!
