The Microhistory Network was created as a loose group in January 2007 to bring together historians interested in the theory and practice of microhistory through a homepage with a continuously refreshed bibliography, links to the members' homepages and other relevant webpages as well as a mailing list (The Microhistory Network at Yahoo Groups) that would give information about conferences, events, the publication of books and articles. The founding members of the Microhistory Network are Mihail Boytsov, Carlo Ginzburg, Marion Gray, Ingar Kaldal, Giovanni Levi, David M. Luebke, Sigurdur Gylfi Magnússon, Sarah Maza, Edward Muir, Matti Peltonen, Guido Ruggiero, David Sabean and István Szijártó.

The coordinators of the Microhistory Network are Ildikó Kenyó and István Szijártó (Eötvös University, Budapest).
