The Organization of American Historians

Advertise in the OAH Annual Meeting Program

Let the OAH Annual Meeting Program introduce your latest U.S. history books, products, and services to all OAH members and institutional subscribers this winter. The Program is the most sought-after print promotional tool offered by OAH, and nearly half of its pages are devoted to advertising. The Program also contains a list of sessions, special events, and off-site venues with detailed descriptions; an exhibit hall guide; a participant index; and information about registration and lodging. It is essential reading for the thousands of historians who gather each spring to discuss the best new research in U.S. history, make professional contacts, explore the host city, and discover the latest American history books and products. It also delivers important information about new trends, books, and products to those who cannot attend the Annual Meeting.
