Agricultural History Society
Cage Free Since 1919

Join/Renew/Donate

The Agricultural History Society was founded in Washington, DC in 1919 "to promote the interest, study and research in the history of agriculture." The society interprets this mission broadly, as creating a conversation about the key political, economic, environmental, and social issues surrounding agriculture without geographic, temporal, or methodological constraints. We strive to build a discourse that cuts across historical sub-disciplines and draws on insights from the full range of social, biological, and environmental sciences.

Join the conversation. Become an Agricultural History Society member and be “cage free”!
