The Economic History Association

The Economic History Association (EHA) is a professional organization dedicated to studying how economic processes and institutions have developed over time. It brings together historians, economists, and scholars interested in understanding past economies’ dynamics, such as trade, industry, labor, and government policies. By promoting research, conferences, and publications, the EHA helps deepen our knowledge of economic history’s role in shaping societies today. Its goal is to foster rigorous analysis of economic change, providing insights that inform current economic debates and policies based on historical context.
