Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to inform the HET community that the Latin American Society for the History of Economics (ALAHPE) has officially launched its website: www.alahpe.org.

Our aim is to provide a gathering place designed not only for members of the society, but also for everyone interested in the history and methodology of economics. The website will keep you up to date with the latest news about the most relevant activities inside the community of historians of economics around the world, including, of course, events organized directly by ALAHPE. We have also created a section containing archival material related to the association and its past conferences, such as important documents and photos. In addition, you can contact our team, and even join ALAHPE’s mailing list, an important communication platform for members of the society. Finally, on the related links section, you will be directed to other important organizations dedicated to the history of economics. Feel free to explore the website in Spanish, Portuguese or English, to join our society, and to make any suggestions to improve this website.

Very soon, we will also be sending the “call for proposals” for the Summer School which will take place in Ouro Preto, Brazil, in February 2017. Prospective candidates must apply online through www.alahpe.org.

We are very enthusiastic about the creation of www.alahpe.org, and we hope to count on your active participation in order to sustain and encourage this important initiative for the future of our field.

With our best wishes,


The Communication Committee of ALAHPE
