Recent sad death of Peter Hasler, former General Editor and Secretary to the Editorial Board of the History of Parliament

We are sorry to have heard of the death of Peter Hasler, former General Editor and Secretary to the Editorial Board of the History of Parliament on 30 April. Peter joined the History in 1958 as sub-editor, became deputy editor, and then (originally with Sir John Neale) editor of the House of Commons 1558-1603 section. He was appointed General Editor and Secretary to the Editorial Board in 1979 and retired in 1991. We hope to write a brief appreciation of Peter’s contribution to the History of Parliament on our blog in due course.
