Since its inception, CHSA has hosted eight meetings: in Atlanta (2008), Philadelphia (2010), Boston (2012), Minneapolis (2014), Austin, Texas (2016), Maryland (2018), Kennesaw (2022) and Illinois (2023).  We are very proud to be hosting our 9th meeting and celebrating 18 years of promoting and creating new knowledge in Construction History.

The 9th meeting of the Construction History Society of America will feature research and scholarship from various academics and practitioners, focusing on building design, fabrication, and construction history. This includes the physical results (infrastructure and building) and the materials, processes, and systems used in their development. We seek a broad range of eras and geographies, and topics focusing on the Americas, particularly the U.S. Midwest, are encouraged.  Presenters will include scholars, engineers, architects, preservationists, contractors, and anyone in the building industry who wants to share their knowledge with us.
