CAAS > About CAAS

CAAS is a multi-disciplinary organization founded in 1964, when a group of Canadian scholars met in Montreal, at Loyola College, to lay plans for a journal and conference dedicated to encouraging and promoting study and research concerning the United States and to examine the implications of such studies for Canada, other North and South American societies, and the world. The first CAAS conference took place in 1965, and the first issue of  the Bulletin of the CAAS was published in that year. The first issue of the Canadian Review of American Studies, CAAS's award-winning journal, was published in 1970, and is still going strong.
