International Committee of Historical Sciences

The International Committee of Historical Sciences (ICHS) is a global organization that brings together professional historians to promote the study, understanding, and exchange of historical knowledge. Founded in 1926, its mission is to foster collaboration among historians worldwide, support historical research, and organize international congresses and conferences. The ICHS also aims to encourage accurate, diverse, and nuanced historical scholarship, enhancing global appreciation of history's role in society. It works independently of political influences and emphasizes scholarly integrity and the importance of history in shaping informed citizenship and cultural understanding.
