In June/July 2008 NHIST has organized a Summer School in Kőszeg/Hungary. The school brought together representatives of NHIST, external scholars such as Catherine Hall (University College London) and Benedikt Stuchtey (German Historical Institute London) as well as younger researchers who are occupied with the history of historiography.

The Summer School provided an opportunity to promote the results of the NHIST programme to the next generation of academics across Europe and to identify new projects and researchers in the history of historiography using comparative and cultural transfer approaches. It allowed delegates from 16 European countries to interact and exchange knowledge and experience across generations and develop their themes and approaches.

The section includes the abstracts of the delegates as well as a report on the summer school.

After extremely productive years the NHIST programme is coming to an end. The programme's termination will be celebrated in final conference that will draw together the research activities of the programme and will provide an opportunity for members of the four research teams and guests to discuss their work. We will also be formally launching the Writing the Nation Series, published in six volumes by Palgrave Macmillan. The final NHIST-conference is to be held in Manchester between 23 and 25 October 2008.

We have asked all the researchers within the NHIST network to send us bibliographical details of their publications which are NHIST-related. We divide the publications in those produced since the beginning of the programme in 2003 and those produced before 2003. We hope that the compiled bibliography will be useful for NHIST researchers and other colleagues interested in the comparative history of historiography: NHIST related bibliographies
