The Society of Architectural Historians is now accepting abstracts for its 79th Annual International Conference in Mexico City, Mexico, April 15–19, 2026. Authors may submit abstracts to one of the 54 thematic sessions, the Graduate Student Lightning Talks, or the Open Sessions for the Mexico City conference. SAH encourages submissions from architectural, landscape, and urban historians; museum curators; preservationists; independent scholars; architects; scholars in related fields; and members of SAH chapters, Affiliate Groups and partner organizations.
The session selection committee reviewed the submitted proposals and composed a program that represents a range of time periods and will be illustrative of wide regional distribution. If your research topic is not a good fit for one of the thematic sessions, please submit your abstract to the Open Sessions; Open Sessions are available for those whose research topic does not match any of the thematic sessions.
Paper abstract submissions are due by June 5, 2025.
The complete Call for Papers, which includes the full list of session topics, guideline for submissions, key dates, may be viewed and downloaded at https://www.sah.org/2026/call-for-papers-mexico-city.
