By-laws

In 1996, our name was changed to Historians of Islamic Art (HIA) to reflect the broader objectives of the organization and its efforts to foster cooperation with colleagues beyond North America. In 2006, the organization became an unincorporated association under the laws of the state of New York, and the name expanded to the Historians of Islamic Art Association (HIAA). Most recently, the HIAA Board and membership voted in 2025 to incorporate and adopted a new set of governing by-laws.
