The Society for American City and Regional Planning History (SACRPH) invites everyone interested in urban planning history, including planners, historians, librarians, and scholars or practitioners from allied fields, to join us in our explorations of this fascinating field of inquiry. In March 1986, 34 people joined together at the First National Conference on American Planning History to create SACRPH. The people agreed to found the Society in order to promote teaching, research, publications, and public education in American planning history. Incorporated in Ohio in 1986 as a not-for-profit and tax-exempt organization, SACRPH collects dues and gifts which are tax-deductible. The Society is governed by a 16-person Board of Trustees.

The Society contracts with Sage Publications to produce the Journal of Planning History (Chris Silver, editor). The Society holds biennial national conferences. Members receive quarterly editions. In addition to holding biennial conferences, the Society meets annually; erects permanent markers commemorating significant events and personages in American planning history; grants biennial prizes and awards for outstanding accomplishments in American planning history, research, and publication; and provides student research awards.
