Annual Meetings

Annual meetings of the Pennsylvania Historical Association are held in the fall at universities and public history sites throughout the state.

Each year’s conference is a highly-anticipated opportunity for both young and established scholars to network, discuss cutting-edge research, and explore new avenues for understanding the rich history of the Commonwealth. 

The Program Committee for the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association to be held in York, PA invites proposals that explore the theme of “Rights, Reform, and Protest in the Mid-Atlantic.”

Plenary sessions, panel discussions, book exhibits, and local tours offer a variety of activities for participants and the inclusion of a student research poster session showcases the next generation of Pennsylvania historians in a fun and stimulating environment. CFP’s generally appear in November with proposal deadlines in mid-February.
