Czech Society for Military History Research, z.s. is an international scholarly society that was registered in early 2020. The Society brings together active researchers, academics, students and authors in the field of military historiography, focusing on reflective concepts, particularly from the fields of new cultural history of war, gender studies, oral history, historical anthropology, historical sociology, archaeology, military studies, ethnology, art history and related disciplines. The Society currently has 26 members from the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and the USA.
Our primary aim is to ensure that domestic military historiography remains in close contact with global developments within the discipline, as well as with developments in the fields of historiography and the humanities and social sciences. In this context, we strive above all for the further development of reflective concepts within the field of military historiography and their application, grounded in sound ethical and theoretical-methodological principles.
The Society will organise conferences, seminars, lectures and similar events for both specialists and the general public, and will also collaborate with similar organisations both at home and abroad. Our aim is also to publish both periodical and non-periodical specialist peer-reviewed works, as well as popularisation and other publications.
The Society is currently led by a Presidium comprising:
PhDr. et Mgr. Petr Wohlmuth, Ph.D. – Chairman
PhDr. Vítězslav Prchal, Ph.D. – Vice-chairman
Mgr. Jiří Hofman, Ph.D. – Treasurer
