[edit] History

The European Association for Banking History e. V. was founded in November 1990 in Frankfurt, Germany by Professor Manfred Pohl, as a forum for research into banking history. In more recent times, the EABH has broadened its scope of activities in order to fully incorporate financial history. In reflection of this objective, the name of the Association was officially changed on 28th May 2004 to the European Association for Banking & Financial History e. V.

The work of the EABH comprises five main areas:

• The Exchange of Information
• Consultation
• Use of Research
• Presentation of Academic Research
• Networking

Almost 80 banks from 25 European countries are members of the EABH, and, in line with the Association's recent development, financial institutions are now a welcome addition to its members. The EABH is a non-profit organisation and relies on the support of its members.
