The Society for Army Historical Research

The Society for Army Historical Research (SAHR) was founded in 1921 to foster interest in the history of British and Commonwealth armies and to encourage research into their evolution and experiences.

The Society is open to historical approaches both old and new. We embrace the study of individual campaigns, common soldiers, and commanders as well as the political, social, and cultural dimensions of land warfare and military service. The Society likewise promotes the study of military artefacts and art, uniforms, medals, arms and equipment. Chronologically, our interests range from the late Middle Ages to the recent past. We cooperate with the National Army Museum in pursuit of shared objectives.

The main activity of the Society is the publication of a quarterly peer-reviewed scholarly Journal reflecting the members' interests and presenting the results of their own research. The Society also produces a number of special publications.
