From American Association for State and Local History:
The 2022 National Census of History Organizations is a first-of-its-kind ef
fort to research the size and scope of the history community in the United
States. Funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humaniti
es, the “History Census” represents the first national effort to produc
e a high-quality, up-to-date, comprehensive list of the country’s thousan
ds of history museums, historical societies, and related organizations. Thi
s initiative identified 21,588 history organizations in the United States,
a number we are confident represents a floor rather than a ceiling. Through
our analysis of this data, we have been able to identify some of the funda
mental characteristics of our field, assess major strengths and weaknesses,
and identify areas for improved practice and further research.
We hope this report will equip history practitioners everywhere with new, h
igh-quality data to support their work, from advocacy to grant proposals to
community partnerships. We encourage you to download the report, view our
interactive map of more than 21,000 institutions, and share this with your
colleagues and coworkers.
