2026 Conference

TOHA is headed to El Paso!

TOHA 2026 will be held September 11–12, 2026, at El Paso Community College - Rio Grande Campus in El Paso, TX.

This conference will continue the Texas Oral History Association’s annual gathering of scholars, students, professionals, and community historians dedicated to preserving, sharing, and advancing oral history. TOHA is excited to partner with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and El Paso Community College to bring the conference to the Borderplex region. We look forward to bringing TOHA to El Paso and creating space for meaningful conversations around oral history methodologies, practices, and community-based work.

More conference details will be shared as they become available.
