Association of British American Nineteenth Century Historians (BrANCH) BrANCH was established in 1993 in order to promote the study in Britain of the history of the United States between 1789 and 1917. Membership is open to anyone with scholarly interest in this period of American history.

American Studies Network

This is a group of European centres involved in the interdisciplinary study of the US. Working in close association with the European Association for American Studies, ASN members are independent organizations with some of their own sources of funding. As a member of ASN, the Bruce Centre thus enjoys close relations with numerous American Studies centres across Europe and is happy to help you make contact with partner institutions to facilitate your research there.

American Politics Group

Founded in 1974, and holding its first conference in January 1975 at the University of Keele, the American Politics Group (APG) is a Political Studies Association sub-group. It is the major professional organisation for researchers and lecturers in the UK whose work concentrates on the government and politics of the United States. We are a welcoming group that welcomes reasoned and evidenced debate about all aspects of US politics.
