About the American Friends of the IHR
If you're based in the United States, you can help the Institute of Historical Research to champion the importance of history, facilitate innovative historical research, and advocate for the long-term future of the discipline, by making a donation and so becoming an American Friend of the IHR (AFIHR).
The AFIHR is a philanthropic organisation. Members are donors to the IHR.
If you would like to make a donation to the AFIHR giving is easy. The IHR is an approved institution by the British Schools and Universities Foundation (BSUF) and so your gift will be tax efficient for you, and the IHR will receive your donation with no further costs.
The BSUF is an official charitable organisation registered in the United States and so all gifts are tax deductible. You can give in the USA via Check, Credit Card, and donate securities too. For more information have a look at the BSUF's website https://www.bsuf.org/
If you would like to get in touch with the American Friends then please contact either Professor Tim Harris @ Brown University or Professor Newton Key @ Eastern Illinois University.
