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:
- Expanding the career horizons of history graduate students through Career Diversity for Historians
- Advancing the professional evaluation of digital scholarship in history
- Defining the disciplinary core of historical study through the Tuning project
