The Dorset History Forum was created in 2007 following an initiative by Dorset County Council's Dorset History Centre [former Records Office]. However the Forum is independent of the County Council and the Library Service. It is managed by a Committee of volunteers appointed by members.

 The Forum seeks to provide a link between local history organisations in Dorset, including: societies, individuals, museums, writers and researchers; in order to enable the sharing of interests and information, so to promote research, publication and the development and sharing of knowledge. The Forum produces a Digest, free for members, £1 to public, to aid the sharing of information and awareness of activities by the wide variety of local history groups in Dorset.

The Dorset History Forum 3rd Annual AGM will be held on Saturday, 25th September. See details under Forthcoming Events.
