La Societat Catalana d’Estudis Històrics (SCEH) va ser creada el 1946 en la clandestinitat. En foren promotors Ramon Aramon, Pere Bohigas i Miquel Coll i Alentorn. En un principi, es dividia en les seccions d’Història, d’Història de l’Art i de Llengua i Literatura. En foren presidents honoraris Pompeu Fabra i Josep Puig i Cadafalch. La Secció d’Història va ser reorganitzada el 1985 per una comissió gestora formada per Emili Giralt, Mercè Aventín, Joan Josep Busqueta, Montserrat Duran i Manuel Risques. Des d’aleshores ha funcionat sense interrupció sota les presidències successives de Josep M. Salrach, Montserrat Duran, Santiago Riera, Gaspar Feliu i Jaume Sobrequés i Callicó. Des de la primera etapa fins als nostres dies publica anualment el Butlletí de la Societat Catalana d’Estudis Històrics.
