As the name implied it was intended to encourage readers to get out and see historical sites, and featured articles to make visits to those places easier. Particularly important was a pull-out section entitled "Footsteps" which could be removed without destroying the rest of the magazine. This covered a number of different walks/visits across the country each month, with maps and details on a full A4 page. Following the takeover of Origin by BBC Worldwide in 2004, Living History ceased to exist as an independent magazine. It was incorporated as a small part of the BBC's rival magazine BBC History (magazine) from June 2004. Though Living History's editor moved across to BBC History, much of the material did not. The BBC magazine covered international history and politics which Living History did not. "Footsteps" was reduced from whole page pull-outs to half-page articles not easily removable from the magazine, and the innovative ideas were gone. EXTERNAL LINKS
