The ICHS was founded in 1938 to be the national committee for history in Ireland.
We represent historians in schools, archives, societies, colleges and universities.
The ICHS is a member of the Comite International des Sciences Historiques-International Committee of Historical Sciences (CISH-ICHS). CISH-ICHS exists to organize a world history conference every 5 years. The XXIII Congress will be held in Poznan, Poland in late August 2020. CISH-ICHS is now starting the process of inviting proposals for themes in order to structure the Congress programme. Only CISH-ICHS members can submit proposals.
The Irish Committee would like to invite any historian or group of historians working on the island of Ireland to submit proposals for the Poznan 2020 Congress.
The deadline for submission of proposals to CISH-ICHS is 31 January 2017.
