What is Phi Alpha Theta? --We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication, and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students , teachers, and writers of history together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication for our members in a variety of ways.

Questions? See our Phi Alpha Theta FAQ Page or the official Phi Alpha Theta Website.
