The Past Meets the Present
Who We Are
The Indiana Association of Historians was founded in 1980 to provide opportunities for people within the state’s historical community to become acquainted, to share research and ideas, to promote and strengthen the historical profession, and to encourage the pursuit of history by the general public. For over forty years, we have stayed true to our roots while still evolving with the larger profession in terms of methodology and technology.
