The Society for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies (SSPHS) was founded in 1969 to promote research in all aspects and epochs of Iberian history and related disciplines. SSPHS conducts annual meetings, provides a forum for scholars of Iberian Affairs, awards prizes for books, articles and dissertations, and publishes its Bulletin triannually. As an affiliated society of the American Historical Association, SSPHS also sponsors sessions at the AHA’s yearly meeting.
