International Federation for Public History – Fédération Internationale pour l’Histoire Publique
The Federation’s main purpose is to build an international public history community to encourage, promote, and coordinate, contacts, teaching, and research in public history.
Launched before the NCPH annual meeting in Portland Oregon in 2010 as the Task Force for the Internationalisation of Public History, the IFPH was established that same year as an Internal commission of the International Committee for Historical Sciences (CISH, Comité International des Sciences Historiques), and its Steering Committee was elected in January 2012.
To learn more about the IFPH, consult the IFPH-FIHP’s own website at http://ifph.hypotheses.org/
The first elected Steering committee meeting was held in Luxembourg on the 22nd of March 2012, and the first federation general meeting was held in Milwaukee the 20th of April 2012.
