Support the ongoing mission of the Society of Architectural Historians

2012 Annual Appeal

Join us in making an end-of-the-year gift to the Society of Architectural Historians’ Annual Fund! This past year was a momentous one for SAH—we launched SAH Archipedia, which joins SAHARA and JSAH Online in a powerful trilogy of online resources that benefits academics, designers, students and everyone who shares our passion for architecture. As SAH’s President and Development Committee Chair, we have spent the past year assessing our recent accomplishments, listening closely to our members’ concerns, and working with the Board to ensure that SAH continues to help our members achieve their professional goals and to reach out to others interested in architecture. The Annual Fund is a key component of this work.

It is a fact that individual and institutional membership revenue covers only 50% of SAH’s annual expenses. Although we work hard and successfully to earn additional revenue from foundation grants, sponsorships for educational programs, and an annual fundraising Gala, we still rely on individual gifts in order to fully cover expenses. In return we provide you with an ever-expanding array of services such as fellowships, a new interactive website, JSAH, JSAH Online, SAHARA,SAH Archipedia, SAH Communities, new Buildings of the United States volumes, the Annual Conference, Study Programs and Tours, access to more than 20 Chapters, and the Society’s landmark headquarters, the Charnley-Persky House. 

Only with your vitally-important support can SAH continue to fulfill its mission. We hope you will consider making a gift, large or small, to the Annual Fund so SAH can continue its excellent legacy of service.  Best wishes for the Holidays and the New Year, and we hope to see you Buffalo for the SAH Annual Conference!

Sincerely,

Fellowship Programs


Projects


Ongoing Support


Annual Conference Fellowships

Each year SAH awards between twenty and thirty fellowships to enable speakers who are presenting papers to attend the Society's annual conference.  

Study Tour Fellowships

The Society awards a single fellowship to a scholar who is a current full-time MA or PhD student or an emerging professional for each domestic and international study tour. The fellowship covers the single occupancy price of the tour package. 

Research Fellowships

SAH partners with the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) to offer a research fellowship to further study a specific nationally-significant building/site, or a broader architectural history topic that will inform future HABS documentation.  

In a joint program with the Atheneuam of Philadelphia, the SAH offers a graduate student a fellowship to research some aspect of American architecture prior to 1860 that will be used in a forthcoming volume of the Buildings of the United States series.

SAH Archipedia

Created in partnership with the University of Virginia Press, SAH Archipedia is an interactive, media-rich online encyclopedia of American architecture.   

Buildings of the United States

A series of richly illustrated guidebooks to the architecture of the United States. Published University of Virginia Press. 

Charnley-Persky House Restoration and Stewardship
