Harvard University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Atlantic History Seminar

The International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World is a program established at Harvard University in 1995 by Professor Bernard Bailyn, under the auspices of the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History and with the support of a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Its purpose is to advance the scholarship of young historians of many nations interested in the common, comparative, and interactive aspects of the lives of the peoples in the lands that form the Atlantic basin, mainly in the early modern period; to contribute to the study of this large transnational historical subject; and to help create an international community of scholars familiar with approaches, archives, and intellectual traditions different from their own.
