About GAHWNY

The Government-Appointed Historians of Western New York (GAHWNY) was founded in 2008 to assist and support all appointed historians in the western portion of New York State.

The goals of this organization are to provide a web presence, annual meeting, and professional-development programming for historians.

Conferences

Each autumn, GAHWNY hosts a one-day conference for Western New York historians. All are welcome to register and attend for networking and professional development programming.
