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 is devoted to stimulating and advancing the study of military history. Its membership (today more than 2300) has included many of the nation's most prominent scholars, soldiers, and citizens interested in military history.

The Society’s web page is being redesigned during the spring of 2009. We appreciate your patience as items and pages that appeared on the old web site are added back to the new web site in the coming weeks and as the site’s navigation structure is adjusted. We also welcome any feedback you might have, which can be sent via this form.
