This charity exists to support "the study and enjoyment of history at all levels by creating an environment that promotes lifelong learning and provides for the evolving needs of people who share an interest in history." Amongst its resources are a number of podcasts by experts and academics, some of which are augmented by visual and textual material. The podcasts are divided into four periods: Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern and Modern History. Some of them are available only to members of the Historical Association.
