The aim of The Historical Society is "to revitalize the study and teaching of history by reorienting the historical profession toward an accessible, integrated history free from fragmentation, over-specialization, and political proscription. The Society embraces people of every ideological and political tendency and our members are free to express their views. The Historical Society is a place to debate those views in the context of historical study; it is not a place to formulate or impose political lines and programs. [...] The Historical Society will conduct activities that are intellectually profitable, providing a forum where economic, political, intellectual, social, and other historians can exchange ideas, contribute to each otherÆs work, and learn from each other. Our goal is also to promote a scholarly history that is accessible to the public." The site offers information about the Society's publications and activities.
