As its name suggests, the Society's activities pertain mainly to Swiss-American history and to promoting historical and genealogical research involving Swiss immigrants. The SAHS Publications, edited by Leo Schelbert, cover topics of Swiss-American interest. Yet the interests of the SAHS reach beyond history and include the ties between the United States and Switzerland. With members mainly in the United States, Canada, and Switzerland, the SAHS fosters contacts with both sides of the Atlantic and serves as a link between Swiss-Americans, Swiss, and Americans in an effort to promote cultural awareness and mutual understanding.
Membership is open to all.
Members receive the SAHS Review three times per year as well as a free copy of books published by the Society. The SAHS holds an annual meeting in early October and organizes occasional regional meetings. All work is done on a voluntary basis in order to promote the Society's goals.
