The Pacific Coast Branch (PCB) was organized in 1903 to serve members of the American Historical Association living in the Western States of the United States and the Western Provinces of Canada. All members of the AHA living in those areas, therefore, are also members of the Branch.
The American Historical Association (AHA) is the largest historical society in the United States. Among its 15,000 members are faculty at secondary schools and two– and four–year colleges and universities, independent historians, and historians in museums, historical organizations, libraries and archives, government, and other areas.
Independent of the AHA itself, the Pacific Coast Branch maintains business offices at: Michael Green, Department of History, Box 455020, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV 89154-5020
