Welcome

The Pennsylvania Historical Assocation promotes interest in Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic history for scholars, museum and historical society and site professionals, and members of the public. We publish an acclaimed journal, Pennsylvania History, as well as the Pennsylvania History Studies Series, which cover a range of fascinating topics in Pennsylvania's history.

The PHA holds its annual meeting in a different Pennsylvania location each fall. The annual meetings bring together historians, educators and history buffs to participate in a wide variety of panel discussions, to hear speakers, and to enjoy meeting others interested in Pennsylvania history.

A new initiative for the PHA is PA-Online, an exciting, searchable database of publications in Pennsylvania history. Whether you're looking for a book, article, dissertation, or even a newsletter column, on any topic in Pennsylvania history, PA-Online is the place to visit!

The PHA is also a proud sponsor of History Day and the exciting new www.explorepahistory.com web site, and we are pleased to have partnerships with other organizations throughout the Commonwealth to promote an interest in Pennsylvania history.

The Pennsylvania Historical Association receives generous support from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
