Call for Short Videos

For the celebration of CISH’s 100th Anniversary, we invite all National Committees, International Organisations, and Internal Commissions to contribute to the project of recording a series of short videos, each no longer than 4 minutes, to spotlight the activities and contributions of each member committee/commission/organisation. These videos aim to showcase the diversity and impact of CISH’s members while celebrating a century of advancing historical scholarship and collaboration worldwide. The project will be coordinated by the International Federation for Public History and the resulting videos will be published on the new website of CISH. 

There are two ways to participate in creating the videos:

  1. Record on Your Own: You can create the video at your convenience by answering the questions provided in this form. This approach allows you to take your time and produce the video in your preferred setting.
  2. Meet with Jimena Perry: Schedule a meeting with Dr. Jimena Perry, Project Manager of the IFPH Explorers, at jimenaperry@gmail.com. During the meeting, she will guide you through the questions and record the video for you.

Both options are designed to make your participation as seamless as possible while celebrating CISH’s milestone anniversary.

For more details about the proposed format and content of recordings, and to schedule the recording session (between September 1 and December 15, 2025) please visit the link with a simple on-line form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SZ2LQxP3RRmH3O83_qSGkMhf991JDKNCjTfzgYi5y0c/viewform

XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences, Poznań 2020/2022: Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian historians

The Board of CISH would like to inform of its intention to promote the participation of as many Ukrainian historians as possible in the Congress, with the dedication of 10,000 Swiss Francs from its Solidarity Fund to that end.

The Board recommends that the local organizers arrange a round table to investigate topics from Ukrainian and Russian history in order to facilitate a historical discussion of the current situation for the general public.
