The Branches of ASALH
Mission of the Branches
The branch structure of ASALH reflects Carter G. Woodson's belief that our
mission of creating and disseminating knowledge about Black history could not
be realized by academics alone.  He envisioned the branches as a means of
extending ASALH's reach across the country and beyond to gather primary
materials about Black history and  to promote the finished results to the public
through events and organizational activities.
A Renewed Emphasis on Branches
The Executive Council recognizes the importance of branches. Staff support is
provided to improve the experience of the branch members. At the annual
convention, branches are recognized for their accomplishments in meeting the
ASALH mission.
Join a Branch
If you are considering joining ASALH or are already a member, become
more involved in the work of  ASALH by joining one of the branches.  
Branches exist in many states throughout the United States.  Some are
institution-based, but most serve an area.  To find out more about the
activities of the branch nearest you, please use the branch directory link
