The North Atlantic Fisheries History Association (NAFHA) is an international, interdisciplinary organization that aims to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the historical development of the fisheries conducted in the North Atlantic. NAFHA meets its aim by fostering research activity, chiefly through the promotion of conferences that bring together established and emerging scholars to examine socio-cultural,
economic, political and environmental aspects of commercial fishing activity over the last millennium. The findings of these conferences, together with monographs and reference works, are disseminated in the
Association’s publication series, Studia Atlantica. For further information, visit www.hull.ac.uk/nafha
The History Department at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA is one of very few North-American university departments with a dedicated focus on maritime history. Research at the department deals with a
variety of topics related to fisheries history of the Atlantic region and maritime history around the world, and faculty members include renowned specialists in this field. Members of the department participate in the intercollegiate interdisciplinary Maritime Consortium at ODU that brings together scholars from various disciplines including the humanities, sciences, social sciences and professional schools who are dealing with maritime affairs.
