The Canadian Historical Association (CHA) (French Société historique du Canada (SHC)) is a Canadian organization founded in 1922 for the purposes of promoting historical research and scholarship. Marius Barbeau, the anthropologist, was its founding Secretary. It publishes the Journal of the CHA, The CHA Bulletin and a well-respected series of booklets featuring concise treatments of particular aspects of Canadian history.
