“…Rather, academic articles providing an historical perspective on an accounting topic were used, along with lectures, to encourage a broader perspective on that topic. This approach adopts the perspective of integrating the material into the curriculum as a pedagogical tool rather than as solely subject matter (see Coffman et al, 1989). While the use of supplemental instruction has been studied (see, for example, Etter et al, 2000;Jones and Fields, 2001;Goldstein et al, 2014), the integration of supplemental material is not well represented in the literature.…”

This paper describes an approach to integrating historical perspective into a fourth-year accounting course to supplement student learning of contemporary issues in accounting. Historical materials were mapped onto the course curriculum and delivered either through additional reading assignments or lectures. The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to course design that integrates an historical perspective into a course in an active manner. It provides a pathway for the inclusion of accounting's history and accounting history research into accounting education. This approach goes beyond providing students with an abstract list of suggested readings. Instead, it incorporates supplemental material through two mapping processes: by topic and by course. This represents a novel and thorough approach to introducing an historical perspective of accounting to students while at the same time providing opportunities for examining contemporary accounting issues in a deeper and more robust way.

“…Other activities of the AAH since its inception have included the publication of a working paper series and a monograph series, the awarding of the President's Hourglass Award and the publication of The Accounting Historians Notebook, which as an English language publication filled the void on ceasing the publication of The Accounting Historian. The AAH has also undertaken a key leadership role in working with other associations/groups of accounting historians based on other countries or regions to mount World Congress of Accounting Historians events (Coffman et al, 1989, pp.183-93, pp.195-203; see also Coffman et al, 1998). It has also mounted an annual research conference in North America.…”

“…Membership trends of the AAH since inception have moved from phases of solid growth to an era of membership stability through to membership decline within the past decade (see for example Coffman et al, 1989Coffman et al, , p.179, 1998 It is beyond the scope of this contribution to identify and examine the factors contributing to such recent trends; however, Fleischman and Radcliffe (2005) Accounting History Vol 12, No 4 -2007 456 explore this topic, specifically in the context of the decline in support of, and interest in, accounting history research and publication within US accounting academe while, at the same time, interest in accounting history elsewhere, such as in Spain, Italy and Portugal, is increasing. In spite of this trend, the AAH remains an independent and active organization (AAH, 2006) that has played a key leadership role in the international development of accounting history since its formation in 1973.…”

This study explores the present-day dimensions of the international accounting history community with a focus on examining the formal (that is institutionalized) and informal (that is non-institutionalized) arrangements for accounting history in various countries and regions. Following a review of recent commentaries on the state of accounting history, the study elucidates the dimensions of the field where accounting history associations or special interest groups operate, and the USA, and also depicts the informal arrangements in place for the accounting history community as identified in France and in the UK. The study is intended to enhance understanding of the nature, size and dynamics of this expanding group of scholars and to assist any future enquiries into the drivers of organizational success and the relative health of accounting history in the different jurisdictions.

The purpose of this article is to examine the emergence and development of all conferences, colloquia and symposia connected with Accounting History, a specialist, English-language international journal. These journal-associated events comprise an integrated, multidimensional set of scholarly forums which have contributed to the international accounting history movement. This article presents an historical account of the motivation for establishing the Accounting History International Conference and the later associated colloquia, first, in the form of the Accounting History Doctoral Colloquium and, second, the Accounting History International Emerging Scholars’ Colloquium, as part of the international strategy of the New Series of the journal from 1996. Regional symposia across Australia and New Zealand, known as the Accounting History Symposium, were also introduced under a holistic approach to nurturing historical accounting research. An overview of the conferences, colloquia and symposia held to the time of writing is provided along with a discussion of the key distinguishing features of these integrated forums of discourse.
