Join Us!

With roots going back to 1969, The Western Association of Women Historians (WAWH) is an inclusive organization that encourages the participation of all historians. Our members practice historical research and thinking in a wide variety of professions. While our mission focuses on women (due to their historical underrepresentation in professional history fields), all people with a professional interest in history are welcome to join and participate.
