Historians

Unions and Associations

Historians in specific professions, such as a teacher or a federal employee, can join unions (such as the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association) that represent workers in their field. In addition to these groups, there are professional and nonprofit organizations that offer membership and opportunities in career development and certification, including the American Historical Association, American Association of University Professors, American Association for State and Local History, Organization of American Historians, and National Council for History Education.
