The Churchill Centre welcomes your interest in our three-week NEH Summer Institute Winston Churchill and the Anglo-American Relationship.  Participants should plan to arrive in England by Sunday, July 11, 2010.  We will spend the first two weeks (July 11-23, 2010) at the Churchill Archives Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge.  On Saturday, July 24, we will depart for Goodenough College in London.  The seminar concludes in London a week later on Saturday morning, July 31.  The final sessions are held on Friday, and departures may be planned for Saturday.
