HISTORY SOCIETY
History Society
The SPARTA History Society is a successful Society which has welcomed a variety of leading historians it is unique within the Whitehall Government Departments.
We are a general history society. Which means that one month you could hear a talk about Ancient Rome and the following month about a historical figure.
We aim to give staff a break from the hurly burley of work, learning about the past can help with our day to day lives.
All of our talks are held online with many held in person. We are keen to maintain our varied programme of talks and trips.
Membership is open to all present staff of DLUHC & DfT and their related Executive Agencies as well as former staff of the Departments.
The SPARTA History Society has a Mailing List for anyone who is interested in attending our events. Please contact Robert Baker robert.baker@dft.gov.uk if you would like your name added to the mailing list.
