The Society’s mission is to stimulate and advance the study of military history, and to diffuse knowledge thereof. Established in 1933 as the American Military History Foundation, renamed in 1939 the American Military Institute, and renamed again in 1990 the Society for Military History, the Society promotes the study of military history through publications, conferences, awards, support for graduate studies, and digital information. Its membership includes many of the nation’s most prominent scholars, soldiers, and citizens interested in military history. The Society is the intellectual home for military historians worldwide.
