Forest History Society
The Triangle
Since 1946, the Forest History Society has stewarded historical treasures, ensuring they are collected, preserved, and made available to all. FHS is your starting place for exploring the people, places, and events that shaped forest and conservation history. Whether you are conducting research, preparing a lesson plan, looking for primary sources, or just interested in historic photos, we are here to serve you.
Our collections contain an extraordinary range of information on forest and conservation history, from prehistoric times to current events. Whether conducting research online or visiting our library and archives, these essential tools, materials, and services will provide information and guidance.
Part of the Forest History Society's mission is to educate students of all ages about the history of human interaction with forested environments around the world. By using our library and archival materials, publications, and films, we can disseminate information in innovative ways.
Our publications include an amazingly wide variety of materials including the Issues Series books, oral history interviews, conference proceedings, and monographs. Our Forest History Today magazine, newsletter, and Environmental History journal attract readers worldwide.
FHS awards and fellowships enable the Society to recognize scholarly achievement and service to the organization and the community at large. The rigorous selection standards reflects equally on the Society and the recipients.
