They do ‘befriend’ many of the people they encounter in their research. They do befriend those who provide them with access to the past. Importantly, they also befriend those who engage in similar historical research and writing. I find membership of the PHA provides links with folk facing challenges familiar to all lone workers. I find that supportive. The original aim looked to formal and informal peer support. Can I add feelings of camaraderie?

There’s a lot more to be done especially at the national level but it’s good to remind/inform members of what has been achieved so far.
