Congratulations to our AHS executive director, Dr. Anne Woosley, who has been elected to the Council of the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH), beginning September 2008.  The Council, which governs AASLH, is elected by the members of the Association to serve four-year terms.

AASLH serves and supports the field of state and local history, providing services and leadership to thousands of institutional and individual members.  It is the national organization dedicated to state and local history.

From its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, AASLH serves a membership, which directly reflects the demographics of the field itself -- small, volunteer led and, often, volunteer staffed organizations with small budgets and limited staff resources to membership organizations and their agents as large as Colonial Williamsburg and the Smithsonian Institution. The Association works hard to represent the field in all of its diversity.

AASLH offers programs and services to meet members' needs and progressively advance the goals and standards of the field.  Programs and services are available to professionals, organizations, and volunteers in the field of state and local history. 

Currently no workshops scheduled
