The 92nd Annual Conference of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association (CCHA) will be held on Tuesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 4, 2026 at the University of Prince Edward Island, in Charlottetown. This is the first time our conference will be held in Atlantic Canada since 2011 and the first time at UPEI since 1992. Our 2026 meeting is independent of the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences and shares dates with the Canadian Historical Association’s Annual Meeting (June 1-3) and the Atlantic Canada Studies Conference (June 3-5), which will also take place in Charlottetown.
