Welcome

...to the website of the Association of Historians of American Art (AHAA), a membership organization and an affiliated society of the College Art Association (CAA).

Founded in 1979, AHAA fulfills its mission of promoting scholarship in the historical art of the United States through several means. We sponsor two sessions at the CAA annual meeting. Our semiannual Newsletter, issued in spring and fall, is filled with information about current exhibitions, publications, and other news and also includes book reviews; the current Newsletter's contents are offered here. And our Membership Directory, an exclusive members' benefit, is an invaluable guide to current scholars of American art.

We invite you to join our collegial international community of scholars by becoming a member of AHAA as we seek to develop a lively and accessible forum for the exchange of information and ideas.
