The Journal of American History is the leading scholarly publication in the field of American history and is well known as the major resource for the study, investigation, and teaching of our nation's past. Appearing quarterly since 1914—first as the Mississippi Valley Historical Review—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 history classroom. The JAH Recent Scholarship bibliography is now available to OAH members as an online searchable database.

The Organization of American Historians is pleased to announce a new magazine for all of our members. The American Historian will cover the broad variety of needs and interests of our members, including primary and secondary teaching, professional development, research, recent scholarship, public history, digital history, and contemporary debates about the past. We believe that it will educate and excite OAH members and the entire U.S. history community. Learn more >
