AHA Data on the Historical Profession
A vital part of the Association's activities is the collection of data, principally from history departments at four-year colleges and universities. Data on the history job market is derived from the information in the annual Directory of History Departments and Organizations, job listings submitted to Perspectives, and an annual survey of history departments. Data on history salaries at colleges and universities comes from annual surveys by the College and University Personnel Association and the American Association of University Professors, with supplementary data from the annual survey of history departments. The Association has also developed some modest amounts of information about trends in the number of undergraduate and graduate students studying history. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Robert Townsend, Assistant Director for Publications, Information Systems, and Research.
In the fall of 2000, the Association initiated a major study on doctoral training in history. Sponsored in part by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Committee on Graduate Education will undertake a number of additional surveys of graduate programs in history.
