# Access to History

Access to History is a British book series designed for pre-university study. The series was conceived and developed by Keith Randell (1943-2002), who wanted to produce books for students "as they are, not as we might wish them to be". The series is published by Hodder Education, and features titles relevant for all of the major awarding bodies, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC.
