The need for a network in the field of architectural history has long been felt among European scholars and those working on European architecture. The idea of creating this network emerged from discussions held at the 2004 and 2005 meetings of the Society of Architectural Historians, as well as the 2005 inha / sah International Conference in Paris.

In late 2005 the European Architectural History Network was established as a temporary association under French law, with the goal of preparing the foundation of a permanent organization. An organizing committee with broad international and professional representation coordinates eahn's current activities as well as the development of by-laws and other details for the future permanent organization.

Mission Statement of The European Architectural History Network
