In 1973, the ACH was formed. Since then, the organization has grown to several hundred members around the globe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lc-block\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p>Its principal activity is an annual conference, which is alternately hosted by an English, Spanish, French, or Dutch-speaking Caribbean nation.&nbsp; To encourage intellectual exchange, all attendees attend each conference session and all papers and discussion sessions are simultaneously translated in English, Spanish and French.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lc-block\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p>The ACH membership includes students, graduate students, faculty, staff of public and government institutions, and independent or retired researchers.&nbsp; While it began under the auspices of history, it now frequently hosts papers and panels on Caribbean literature, art, theatre, archeology, material culture, and identity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lc-block\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p>ACH members have played leading roles in the Caribbean, most notably in public service and in academia. These include current and past service as leaders of government, national, regional, and international organizations. Many current members serve in senior positions at Caribbean, North American, and European universities.&nbsp; We hope you will join us.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lc-block\" editable=\"rich\">\n\t\t\t\t\tThese Conferences have stimulated a considerable amount of research and writing, much of which is available to university students in the region.
