The core seminar combines eight seminar programmes: medieval economic and social history; early modern economic and social history; modern economic and social history; quantitative history; the Centre for Financial History; the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure; the Centre for Quantitative Economic History; and the Centre for History and Economics. Their specialist seminar programmes will not be running in Michaelmas 2013, but each seminar will meet separately again in Lent and (sometimes) Easter 2014; details will be available online. The core seminar is grateful for the support of Trinity Hall and for the generosity of the Managers of the Trevelyan Fund.
