Network of Concerned Historians

The Network of Concerned Historians (NCH) is an organization created to act as a bridge between human-rights organisations campaigning for censored or persecuted historians and others concerned with the past on the one hand and the global community of historians on the other.[1] The Network of Concerned Historians became affiliated with the International Students of History Association in April 2013,[2] became an affiliated member of Scholars at Risk (SAR), located at New York University, in February 2007,[3] and became a founding member for the Network for Education and Academic Rights in June 2011.

The Annual Reports have been published since 1995, and are all available in the organization's website.[5]

The last Report was published in 2022, and covers 100 countries, including Afghanistan, Brazil. China, India, Russia and the United States.[6]
