The Oxford Local History Association was founded in 1980 to further the study of local history in the county and in particular to promote links between amateur local historians and with academic and professional bodies involved in local history. The association organizes twice-yearly meetings or day schools in Oxford or elsewhere in the county, and publishes a quarterly Newsletter and twice-yearly journal, Oxfordshire Local History.
