Welcome to the home page of the North American Society for Oceanic History.

The society was founded in 1973 to provide a forum for maritime history and remains actively devoted to the study and promotion of naval and maritime history. The society's objectives are to promote the exchange of information among its members and others interested in the history of the seas, lakes, and inland waterways; to call attention to books, articles, and documents pertinent to naval and maritime history; and to work with local, regional, national, international, and government organizations toward the goal of fostering a more general awareness and appreciation for North America's naval and maritime heritage. NASOH also houses the U.S. Commission on Maritime History which is a constituent member of the International Commission on Maritime History. Along with the Canadian Nautical Research Society, NASOH co-sponsors publication of The Northern Mariner/ Le Marin du Nord, a quarterly journal of maritime history scholarship.

NASOH has created the Clark G. Reynolds Student Paper Award presented to the author of the best paper by a graduate student delivered at the society's annual conference. For more information go to the Awards page.

Click here to view our Strategic Plan.

Two portions of NASOH's Strategic Plan relate to collaborating with other organizations having missions compatible with ours. One of these states that we shall "Encourage scholarly sessions on maritime topics at meetings of major historical societies. For a generation, at least, the larger historical organizations have paid far less attention to maritime history than in earlier times. This has resulted in the growth of smaller organizations as maritime specialists sought new avenues of expression."

The other says that we shall seek to "Increase participation in conferences of NASOH and other national and international maritime organizations, since NASOH represents the U.S. Commission of Maritime History, a member of the International Commission on Maritime History."

The first step in advancing these goals is to identify those associations with whom efforts at collaboration would most likely bear fruit. To that end, NASOH's subcommittee on collaboration is asking your input. You can help the cause by responding to the six questions contained in the survey at the following link:

Your responses will be most useful if received by March 15.
