A National Society For the Promotion of Interest in the History of the Canadian Catholic Church
Founded 3 June 1933

Members belong either to the English Section of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association, or to the French Section of La Société Canadienne D’ Histoire de L’Eglise Catholique. Each Section is autonomous and holds its own annual conference. The French Section usually holds its conference in French-speaking cities in the autumn.

The English Section of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association holds an annual conference at which the results of historical research are presented and an annual business meeting is held. The conference is held at the time and place of the annual meeting of the Learned Societies of Canada. Some of the proceedings of this meeting are published in the refereed journal of that year.

The 76th annual meeting of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association will be held at Concordia University, Montreal, May 31 – June 1, 2010 in conjunction with the Annual Congress of the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences (May 28 – June 4, 2010).
