Consortium of Historians of Idaho and its Periphery (CHIP) Inaugural Conference
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the formation of CHIP, the Consortium of Historians of Idaho and its Periphery. This new organization is dedicated to the history of Idaho and its connections to the broader Intermountain West region. CHIP’s founders seek to create a dedicated space to explore the complex historical dynamics of the Gem State, while serving to foster community among the many far-flung professionals whose work connects to Idaho history.
Our inaugural meeting will take place at Idaho State University in Pocatello, ID, on Saturday, September 19, 2026. We invite proposals for presentations on research related to the history of Idaho and the region, broadly construed. The conference is open to interested faculty, graduate students, library and archival professionals, and public historians.
