The ACHA is now accepting individual papers for inclusion in its 2018 annual meeting to be held in Washington, DC in January 2018. Topics covering any period of Catholic history are welcome.

Submission deadline: Monday, April 17, 2017 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.


To submit a proposal

1.Review the rules and eligibility for proposals (if your proposal does not comply, it will be rejected):

    • You must be an ACHA member in good standing at the time you submit your proposal and must maintain your membership until the conclusion of the Washington meeting in January 2018. (You may register or renew your membership at achahistory.org.) If you are submitting a panel or roundtable, all participants must meet these membership requirements.
    • Any participant whose paper, panel, or roundtable is accepted for inclusion on the ACHA program must also register for the American Historical Association (AHA) conference.
    • You may only submit one proposal for the conference.
    • You cannot present at the 2018 conference if you have presented at both of the two previous ACHA annual conferences (that is, at Denver 2017 and Atlanta 2016). Our policy is that members may present for a maximum of two years in a row, and then must wait a year before presenting again.
    • You may only serve as a chair or commentator on one panel in addition to presenting one paper.
