The Canadian Historical Association (French Société historique du Canada) is a Canadian organization founded in 1922 for the purposes of promoting historical research and scholarship. Marius Barbeau, the anthropologist, was its founding Secretary. It publishes the Journal of the CHA and a well-respected series of booklets featuring concise treatments of particular aspects of Canadian history. Other activities include lobbying government agencies, libraries, and archives on matters related to document preservation and availability. The current president of the CHA is Mary Lynn Stewart of Simon Fraser University.
A subcommittee of the CHA, the Canadian Committee on Labour History, publishes the journal Labour/Le Travail. It holds an annual conference together with other scholarly groups as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (the "Learneds").
Other subcommittees include:
