About the BH&HS
The Baptist History & Heritage Society communicates the story of Baptists through print and digital media, publications, and conferences.
WHO WE ARE
We are a national, independent, diverse organization of Baptist historians and other individuals and partner institutions who are committed to communicating the story of Baptists through the study, interpretation, publication, and advocacy of Baptist history. Our Mission Statement is: Helping Baptists discover, conserve, assess, and share their history. While the primary focus of our work is among Baptists, we also assist the general public in understanding Baptists.
WHAT WE DO
The BH&HS publishes a variety of print and digital media resources (including books, an academic journal, and online resources), sponsors various local, regional and national conferences, and bestows awards upon individuals and organizations who make exceptional contributions in the field of Baptist history.
We work alongside scholars, clergy, laity, and the general public. We focus on the world of the academy and the life of the local church. Our work and contributions encompass the diverse world of Baptists and the wide variety of Baptist beliefs, while intersecting the larger world through a focus on the long-held Baptist heritage of freedom of conscience, religious liberty, and separation of church and state.
