The Forest History Society is a nonprofit library and archive dedicated to collecting, preserving, and disseminating forest and conservation history for use by researchers, educators, policymakers, and the public. By curating and sharing historical materials, it helps illuminate how forest heritage informs current conversations about conservation and management. Based in Durham, North Carolina, the organization operates in the libraries sector as a small nonprofit focused on preserving forest-related records and making them accessible. In 2024 the society launched the Plant for Pakistan campaign, reflecting engagement with broader forestry initiatives beyond its core archival work. Its work centers on providing access to historical materials that contextualize forest and conservation issues for interested audiences.
