Trinity HistoryCon

The Trinity Long Room Hub, Arts and Humanities Research Institute

Trinity HistoryCon is a one-day academic conference and comic-con celebrating the intersection of the study of history and popular media. It brings together some of the brightest scholars and entertainment professionals in a unique setting to discuss our shared love of history. HistoryCon will feature talks and panels to bring the magic of filmmaking and the primary source inspirations to our guests. In the spirit of comic-con, HistoryCon will also host two costume contests. Whether you are a skilled historical cosplayer or a novice, there will be a category for you. We welcome costumes from all genres. HistoryCon champions quality education for all. The event is free and open to the public. Costumes are highly encouraged.
