Our Activities

SAH promotes meaningful public engagement with the history of the built environment through advocacy efforts, print and online publications, and local, national, and international programs. For much of our history, our services have revolved around four core activities: publishing our quarterly journal, JSAH, organizing annual conferences and study programs, and publishing our award-winning Buildings of the United States book series. More recently, we have focused on developing innovative digital resources designed to disseminate research about the history of the built environment to the public worldwide. These resources include SAH Archipedia, our open-access encyclopedia of U.S. architecture and landscapes, and SAHARA, our digital archive of over 155,000 architecture and landscape images.
