This seminar is a combination of 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 Centre for History and Economics; the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure; and the Centre for Quantitative Economic History. Their specialist seminar programmes will not be running in Michaelmas 2015, but each seminar will meet separately again in Lent and (sometimes) Easter 2016; 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.

Seminar co-ordinators: Amy Erickson (ale25@cam.ac.uk), Duncan Needham (djn33@cam.ac.uk), and Leigh Shaw-Taylor (lmws2@cam.ac.uk)
