Promoting the Study of History

We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through encouraging research, good teaching, publication, and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students and teachers together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication by our members in a variety of ways.

Make History With Us

Our members get to participate in regional conferences, biennial conventions, and special scholarship opportunities. You can become part of our 400,000-strong membership and connect with like-minded history buffs.

Support Students

Each year we give out tens of thousands of dollars of grants, awards, and scholarships to support our members. Consider making a charitable donation to help us expand our efforts.
