The Cambridge Group for the History of Population & Social Structure turns 60 this year! Since its founding in 1964, members of the Group have made a spectacular series of discipline-transforming contributions to social science history. These include: reconstructing the population history of England over the last 500 years; delineating occupational change in the English economy over the same period; and reconfiguring our understanding of historical household structures, welfare systems, transport, and energy use.

Every week from 11 July 2024 to July 2025 we’ll post a new blog exploring one of the 60 things everyone should know about family, marriage, work and death in past centuries.
