Borderland Resources

The Association for Borderlands Studies (ABS) is a leading international scholarly organization founded in 1976, dedicated to the systematic study and exchange of ideas regarding international borders, initially focusing on the United States-Mexico borderlands. Over the years, ABS has expanded its mission, facilitating dialogue and research on cultural heritage and borders, and promoting the interconnectedness of communities across diverse landscapes and cultures.

ABS hosts an annual conference, regional meetings, and publishes the Journal of Borderlands Studies, which appears six times a year. The association also recognizes distinguished contributions to the field with its Lifetime Awards, celebrating the achievements of scholars and professionals engaged in the study of borderlands and transborder processes.
