The International Social History Association

The International Social History Association (ISHA) is an organization that promotes the study and understanding of social history worldwide. It brings together researchers, historians, and educators who focus on how ordinary people lived, worked, and interacted throughout history, rather than just the actions of leaders and elites. ISHA supports collaboration through conferences, publications, and networks, fostering scholarship that highlights diverse experiences and perspectives. By encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, the association aims to broaden the appreciation of social history and its relevance to contemporary society.
