LATEST NEWS - 125th Anniversary book
​Dan Brock Is in High Gear Again!
Our past president, Dan Brock, is putting the finishing touches on an extraordinary new book celebrating our shared heritage and entitled:
​
Chronological Saga of The London and Middlesex
Historical Society: 125 Amazing Years
This will be a must-have reference packed with fascinating revelations, detailed program tables, board member lists, memberships and publications, plus plenty of interesting historic photographs that will keep you turning the pages.
You may be very surprised to discover just how many of London’s notable citizens were proud members of the Society!
This monumental volume stands as a remarkable heartfelt tribute to the dedicated historical sleuthing of our past president, Dan Brock; Peter MacDonald; Cindy Hartman; and Glen Curnoe, as well as others. With excitement, we are looking forward to releasing it for our special 125-year celebration in November 2026.
The book will be available in hardcover, softcover and electronic format, and will serve as the Society’s 2026 publication, replacing The Historian for this year.

The LMHS will always treasure the Old Courthouse (pictured above) and was honoured to meet there for decades. The pending development made it necessary for our meetings to move. The last meeting at the Old Courthouse was Nov. 20, 2024. Beginning January 2025, a new era begins as the Society partners with London Public Library. For more information see the Meetings page.
