| AASLH provides leadership and support for its members who preserve and interpret state and local history in order to make the past more meaningful to all Americans.
AASLH began in 1904, under the wing of the American Historical
Association. Then called the Conference of State and Local Historical Societies,
AASLH broke out on its own in December of 1940 to become the American Association
for State and Local History.
Now, 100 years after the first organization was created in
support of the burgeoning field of state and local history, AASLH is still the
only comprehensive national organization dedicated to the field at large. From
its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, AASLH is proud to provide a home for
those who work and volunteer in the field of state and local history.
