Resources for History Graduate Students

Graduate Students have long been an essential part of the Association's membership, and currently comprise almost 15 percent of our membership. The Association provides subsidized membership to graduate students as well as research grants to support their work. This page provides links to the most popular resources the Association has prepared or found for graduate students at every stage in their studies.  In January 2002, Council gave the Task Force on Graduate Education permanent status and it became the Committee for Graduate Students. In 2008 the committee was renamed the Graduate and Early Career Committee.
