<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The <i>2022 National Census of History Organizations</i> is a first-of-its-kind effort to research the size and scope of the history community in the United States. Funded through
a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the “History Census” represents the first national effort to produce a high-quality, up-to-date, comprehensive list of the country’s thousands of history museums, historical societies, and related organizations.
This initiative identified 21,588 history organizations in the United States, a number we are confident represents a
<i>floor</i> rather than a <i>ceiling. </i>Through our analysis of this data, we have been able to identify some of the fundamental characteristics of our field, assess major strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas for improved practice and further research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We hope this report will equip history practitioners everywhere with new, high-quality data to support their work, from advocacy to grant proposals to community partnerships. We
encourage you to download the report, view our interactive map of more than 21,000 institutions, and share this with your colleagues and coworkers.<o:p></o:p></p>
