International Association for the History of Religions
About
The International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) is a global academic organization dedicated to the critical, cross-cultural, and non-confessional study of religion. It was formally established in 1950 during the 7th International Congress for the History of Religions in Amsterdam, though its roots trace back to earlier congresses dating from 1900. The IAHR operates as an umbrella organization comprising more than 50 affiliated national and regional scholarly societies. It is a member of the Conseil International de la Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines (CIPSH), which is part of UNESCO.
