The Society organizes workshops for post graduate history students from the public universities to critique their work and to equip them with computer skills. The Historical Society of Ghana has also initiated a programme for history teachers to upgrade teaching in schools and introduce them to new trends in historiography. Assessment of the state of records in public institutions is another task taken up by the Society. Surveys have been conducted in the castle, the Attorney General’s office and the Supreme Court. These would be extended to other institutions. We hope to start the cleaning and preservation exercise very soon.

 

The Society also acquired and refurbished used computers from its members abroad. These were donated to the Regional Houses of Chiefs, the Department of History and other research organizations. These achievements by the Society have been made possible through contributions from members of the Society, membership dues and grants from the Norwegian Universities Fund for Research (NUFU) through the tradition and modernity in Ghana ’s History and Development Project of the University of Ghana and the Norwegian   University of Science and Technology, Trodheim.

 

As Ghana celebrates her Golden Jubilee Anniversary of Independence in 2007, the Society looks forward to forging partnership with countries that have shared experiences with Ghana in the course of her history and organizations that value the importance of history in nation building.
