In 2007, it was twenty-one years since the start of the Cultural History programme at Aberdeen, and in order to mark this occasion, we organised an international conference 'Varieties of Cultural History' which took place in Aberdeen in July 2007 and at which an International Society for Cultural History was founded. Also, to mark the 'coming-of-age' of the cultural history programme, and the founding of a new MLitt in Cultural History, we established the Cultural History Prize/Schoalrship fund. In the first instance, we intend that this will be used to support a prize for the best cultural history essay or dissertation by a University of Aberdeen student.

We welcome donations towards this prize. Recently, generous donations have been made by a former member of staff, Morag Charity, a recent graduate in cultural history, and Ben Marsden, a current member of the cultural history staff. A further contribution towards the fund was raised by a raffle at the 'Varieties of Cultural History conference'
