Publications
The Organization of American Historians publishes two quarterly titles: the Journal of American History and the OAH Magazine of History. We also publish the annual OAH Annual Meeting Program.
Journal of American History
The Journal of American History is the leading scholarly publication in the field of U.S. history and is well known as the major resource for the study, investigation, and teaching of our nation's past. Appearing quarterly since 1914, the Journal has a distinguished history of its own, publishing many prize-winning and widely reprinted scholarly articles. The Journal also features historiographic essays and reviews of books, films, exhibitions, and Web sites. Its ongoing internationalization initiative places American history in a global context, and its "Teaching the JAH" project brings the latest scholarly research into the U. S. history classroom. The Journal's Recent Scholarship bibliography is now available to OAH members as an online searchable database.
OAH Magazine of History
Since 1985, each issue of the OAH Magazine of History has focused on a theme or topic of recent scholarship in American history. It provides readers with informative articles, lesson plans, and current historiography. Recent issues (back to April 2003) of the OAH Magazine of History are also available online to current OAH members.
OAH Outlook
OAH Outlook: A Membership Newsletter of the Organization of American Historians, provides news of the organization and the history profession, as well as timely articles of professional and scholarly interest to OAH members. OAH Outlook appears quarterly each February, May, August, and November, and is an exclusive benefit of membership in the OAH.
The OAH Annual Meeting Program
Mailed to the membership each January, the OAH Annual Meeting Program includes information about the OAH Annual Meeting, held in the spring of each year. The meeting provides an opportunity to join colleagues for conversations on a range of issues, make professional contacts, and view the latest historical publications in the annual meeting exhibit hall. The meeting also includes Focus on Teaching sessions and a series of professional sessions for graduate students, as well as tours and off site sessions.
Presidential Address and Award Ceremony Program
Since 2001, OAH has published a “Presidential Address and Award Ceremony Program” for each annual meeting describes each award and its winner.
U.S. History Teaching Units
Developed by the Organization of American Historians and the National Center for History in the Schools (NCHS) at the University of California, Los Angeles, each U.S. History Teaching unit focuses on a different topic in U.S. History. Written by teams of teachers and historians for U.S. history students at the precollegiate level, each unit is based on primary documents and contains reproducible images and lesson plans for use in the classroom.
