The Alaska Humanities Forum is dedicated to connecting Alaskans and strengthening communities across the state.​

Using the humanities - literature and storytelling, history, art, music, philosophy, the shared cultural heritage - they create the space for Alaskans to share their stories, ideas, and perspectives so that they may better understand themselves, one another, and the human experience.​

Since 1972, the Forum has represented and served Alaska as one of 56 state and territorial councils supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and as a member of the Federation of State Humanities Councils.

Mission
The Alaska Humanities Forum connects Alaskans through stories, ideas, and experiences that positively change lives and empower communities.

The vision is a culturally diverse, economically vibrant, and equitable Alaska where people are engaged, informed, and connected.
