American Society for Ethnohistory records, 1953-1992   Creator:  American Society for Ethnohistory Title:  American Society for Ethnohistory records, 1953-1992 Phy. Description:  18 linear feet Digital Reference:  Bio / His Notes:  The American Society for Ethnohistory was founded as the Ohio Valley Historic Indian Conference, an interdisciplinary organization of historians, ethnologists, archeologists, and linguists. Its purpose was to promote the study of historical Indians of the Ohio Valley. In 1955, the conference became the American Indian Ethnohistoric Conference. The present name was adopted in 1966. The society's purposes, as suggested by the changes in name, have broadened and today it promotes cultural history of non-industrial people.
