⁵ Organisations wishing to join CISH must apply to the Board at least six months before the next General Assembly.

⁶ Proposals for amendments to the Constitution must be included in the invitation to the General Assembly.

To mark the CISH’s 50th anniversary, Secretary General Michel François (1950–1980) wrote an article published in Information Bulletin No. 10 (1974–1976).

Obituaries published in the CISH Bulletin.

The origins of the CISH can be traced back to a series of international congresses held in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

As early as 1898, the Congress of Diplomatic History held in The Hague — organised by the Société d’histoire diplomatique under the impetus of the French scholar René de Maulde-La Clavière — laid the groundwork for structured international scholarly exchange. This was followed in 1900 by the Congress of Comparative History in Paris, held alongside the World Exhibition, which reflected both a desire to assert history as a rigorous scientific discipline and the broader climate of national rivalry in which historical scholarship was deeply embedded. Subsequent congresses in Rome (1903), Berlin (1908), and London (1913) steadily expanded in scope and participation, before the First World War brought this momentum to a halt.

When international cooperation resumed, the 1923 Brussels Congress proved a turning point: driven by Henri Pirenne and inspired by Wilsonian ideals of peaceful international collaboration, the foundations were set for a permanent institution. CISH was formally established in Geneva in 1926, with the aim of providing historians with a stable institutional framework through which to meet regularly, present their work, and compare their methodologies.

In 2005, in the wake of the publication of the English translation of Karl Dietrich Erdmann’s book and on the eve of the CISH 80th anniversary, the publication in the Bulletin of the archival guide for the two main repositories of the CISH archives seemed a good idea.

In 2001, the Centre historique des archives nationales published a detailed repertoire of the CISH collection deposited at the National Archives of France, under the reference 105 AS.

The Archives nationales de France hold the bulk of the Secretary General’s archives, since 1950 principally. The whole collection is accessible without restrictions as of 1 January 2006. Researchers should also look into the Fonds of the Comité français des sciences historiques (70 AJ) for other documents.

The CISH also has a collection at the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire de Lausanne.
It holds the collection of papers of the Treasurers and other documents. An inventory is not available, but the classification guide provides an overview of its contents.

Classification framework for the CISH archives deposited at the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire de Lausanne

CISH archives were used extensively by Professor K. D. Erdmann and his research assistant, Agnes Blänsdorf, when preparing the original 1987 edition. Agnes Blänsdorf has also produced an updated bibliography of sources in the current English edition of the volume.
