Northwest Historical Association 
Operating in the Pacific Northwest, the Northwest Historical Association has active members from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The NWHA encourages people with an interest in the Second World War to join in the fun and challenge of reenacting. You will gain greater understanding of what life was like as an infantryman facing other infantrymen in a grim struggle beyond your control.
The Northwest Historical Association is an organization dedicated to the preservation of the history of World War II. We are amateur historians who collect militaria, books, firearms, and vehicles. We exhibit our collections to interested parties and relive that era via tactical battles and displays. We are not survivalist, Nazis, neo-Nazis, or affiliated with any militias. We do not espouse any political views while gaming. We are and will remain non-political.
The Northwest Historical Association welcomes all interested parties to inquire about our club. Any applicant under the age of 18 must have a sponsor in the unit he would like to join and parental/guardian permission. All new members must join a historically accurate unit in a historically correct combat role. These rules are explained further in the NWHA By-Laws. If you want more information about a specific unit please e-mail the unit directly or visit their web site. Please include your name, age, home mailing address, and full telephone number when contacting any unit. You will be contacted by a member of the NWHA board to verify your information before any further information is sent out to you.To contact the NWHA for more information send email to info@nwha.org. |
