The Cambridgeshire Association for Local History is asking people to nominate Young People for CYPHA - the Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Award. Our aim is to reward and recognise History related work carried out by Young People in Eastern Region.

The planned work, research or project can be very broad based, our main aim is for Young People to have fun and learn about their landscape, community and their past. They may want to base their project on their Family's History or on their Village's Archaeology or History or they might want to cast their net further afield to a wider East Anglia based project or they might just be a budding Archaeologist - the basic rule is if in doubt

Please Contact us, to discuss their ideas.....
