Lists officers and provides membership information. Offers information on the SHA newsletter, job listings, and annual meetings. Describes available publications and provides information on historical archaeology. Posts contact information for the headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, via street and e-mail addresses.

As the SHA celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2017, it seems appropriate to remember and reflect on those individuals who have made significant contributions to the discipline at large and to the society in particular.

Indeed, the developments of the last half-century shed light on the trajectory of the discipline and society since the fourteen-member committee gathered in Dallas in January 1967.
