AEHE, https://www.aehe.es/

The Spanish Association of Economic History (AEHE) has its origin in 1972, on the occasion of the I Congress of Economic History. With the support of the Bank of Spain, it was held on May 11 and 12, 1972 in Barcelona. Almost fifty economic historians participated, part of whose works were published as Acts in the book on Agriculture, colonial trade and economic growth in contemporary Spain (Ariel, 1974). That meeting was the first step for the birth of the Association.

Until 1980, the Association of Economic History (AHE) -as it was called then- did not endow itself with statutes and a minimum institutional infrastructure (General Secretariat, Presidency, Council, Assembly). That year the AHE was established in order to promote research, teaching and publications related to economic history. Unlike other associations, the position elected by the members of the Association has been that of Secretary General, with the President elected from among the members of the Council. Its first General Secretary was Gabriel Tortella Casares, professor at the University of Alcalá de Henares, and its first President was Mr. Felipe Ruiz Martín, professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid. In 1983 Gabriel Tortella founded and directed the Revista de Historia Económica – Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History, although said journal was not directly linked to the AHE. Currently, the journal Investigaciones de Historia Económica is the official publication of the AEHE, published every four months since it stared in 2005.
