Associazione di Storia Contemporanea

The Association of Contemporary History, based in Senigallia (Ancona), brings together more than 530 historians, scholars, and enthusiasts from around the world. It promotes historical research activities concerning the late modern history and the dissemination of every tool of knowledge that encourages critical and up-to-date reflection on the events of the last 237 years. In its first 15 years of activity, the Association has produced more than 150 publications on political history, women’s history, travel history (odeporic history), the history of historiography, as well as local and public history. Many of these works have been presented at universities and international institutions, including in France and Portugal (2014), the United States (2015), and Germany (2016, 2021, 2024). The Association has its own journal (Il materiale contemporaneo) and a publishing imprint (1797 edizioni).
