The Georgia Association of Historians started in 1973 with a simple goal: bringing together historians to strengthen our profession and share ideas. The purpose of the organization, according to our Constitution, is “to strengthen the historical profession and to enhance the professional lives of historians in Georgia."
Our members study everything from American and European history to the Middle East, Latin America, and China , making us a true hub for historical research that goes far beyond state lines. We connect through annual meetings and our peer-reviewed journal, while also helping new historians find their footing in the field.
Whether you're teaching history, working in public history, or conducting research, the GAH offers a welcoming community where historians can grow, collaborate, and push the boundaries of historical understanding.
Here are some sample panels from the most recent conference:
