The European Public Relations History Network (EPRHN) is a Bournemouth University initiative, supported by EUPRERA, to gather knowledge of the history of public relations across Europe. It aims to create cross-border research projects and to explore the distinctive aspects of public relations’ history across the continent.

Some 30 academics and practitioners from more than 10 countries are founding members of EPRHN and they have come together to produce a record of public relations archives. The first edition was published in January 2013. And further editions will follow.

The first formal meeting of EPRHN will be at EUPRERA in Barcelona in October, with a planning meeting being arranged for the International History of Public Relations Conference 2013 at Bournemouth University in late June 2013.

New, active members are welcomed. Enquiries should be sent to prhistory@bournemouth.ac.uk.
