Support the ongoing mission of the Society of Architectural Historians
It is with generous tax deductible donations and gifts, grants and membership support, that SAH is able to fulfill its mission of promoting the study, interpretation and conservation of architecture, design, landscapes and urbanism worldwide. Founded at Harvard University in 1940, SAH serves everyone touched by architectural history including design professionals, libraries, academics, and the public. Headquartered in the landmark Charnley-Persky House in Chicago, SAH serves its many constituents through its advocacy efforts, its print and online publications, and its local, national and international programs.
Fellowship Programs
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.
