"The International Intelligence History Association was established to promote scholarly research on intelligence organizations and their impact on historical development and international relations. The Association's international membership - consisting of historians, political scientists, cryptologists, active and former intelligence officials, and members of the armed forces - promotes interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of intelligence history. Annual meetings provide a forum for academic exchange, and The Journal of Intelligence History, published by the IIHA, informs members and the broader public on matters pertaining to scholarly research on intelligence."
