Witness Seminars: CCBH Online Archive
The CCBH has been holding witness seminars since 1987. A complete list of seminars held since then can be found by clicking here.
Since 2002, we have been publishing the full transcripts of witness seminars, as checked by witnesses, footnoted, and with introductory papers, chronologies and documents where relevant and available, in electronic and paper format. Previously, seminars have been published in journals, but often had to be cut extensively to fit into the journal format. A new design has been created to make the transcripts and annotations easy to read.
The seminars are available either as hard copy (double-sided, wiro-bound with a protective cover) or as searchable, printable PDF files on CD-ROM. Prices vary from £10-£15 for hard copy and £8-£12 for CD-ROM according to the length of the seminars.
To buy copies of any of the seminars now available in this format, please phone the CCBH on 020 7862 8751 or email ccbhinfo@sas.ac.uk. Further information on purchasing seminars can be found at http://www.ccbh.ac.uk/witness_buy.php You can also look at a read-only PDF file of the seminars online: click on the title of any seminar to be taken to its homepage.
For guidance on making PDF files more accessible, eg changing background colours, enlarging text size or navigating through the document, please click here.
