About Society for French Historical Studies

Founded in 1954, the Society for French Historical Studies promotes scholarship focused on the history of France from the medieval era to the twenty-first century. The Society also champions research into history beyond France itself, to include the hexagon’s historical relationships with the rest of the world, including North America, Africa, and Asia, as well as other societies on the European continent.

The Society is a permanent organization of historians of France. Its purpose is to promote scholarly work in any and all aspects of French history. It carries out this purpose chiefly through the holding of annual meetings, the publication of a journal, and the awarding of prizes for outstanding scholarly achievement. Since 1993 the Society has been a constituent member of the American Council of Learned Societies.
