The National History Center of the American Historical Association provides historical perspectives on current issues and promotes historical thinking in the service of civic engagement. The AHA established the center in 2002 as a separate nonprofit organization that focuses on the relationship between history and public policy.
The Pacific Coast Branch (PCB) of the American Historical Association was organized in 1903 to serve members of the American Historical Association living in the Western States of the United States and the Western Provinces of Canada. All members of the AHA living in those areas, therefore, are also members of the Branch.
The American Historical Association is the largest professional organization serving historians in all fields and all professions. The AHA is a trusted voice advocating for history education, the professional work of historians, and the critical role of historical thinking in public life.
As a member, your dues support these and other initiatives:
- Revising introductory history courses to serve students from all backgrounds and prepare them for life in a complex society
- Rethinking doctoral education in history to improve student experience and increase historians’ impact within and beyond the academy
- Creating resources to support high school and college history teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Working to ensure the preservation of records and historians' access to archives
