The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) is a non-profit association for state and local history, with a primary focus on museums and historical societies. It is headquartered in Nashville, TN, and has over 6,300 members. In response to indications from small museums that the accreditation process of the American Association of Museums was unattainable, AASLH launched the "Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations," or StEPS. As opposed to a certification program, StEPS is a self-study program without a set timeline. AASLH hosts an annual conference, educational workshops around the country, and webinars. For the 2008-2009 fiscal year, AASLH had gross receipts just under $2 million, and 8 full-time and 3 part-time staff.
