The Alabama Historical Association (established 1947) of Alabama, United States, is an historical society that aims to "discover, procure, preserve, and diffuse whatever may relate to the natural, civil, literary, cultural, economic, ecclesiastical, and political history of the state of Alabama."[1][2]
James Frederick Sulzby (1905–1988) served as president of the organization from 1947 through 1949.[3][4] In 1948 the group launched the quarterly journal The Alabama Review (ISSN 0002-4341).[5] It also oversees a program of historical markers throughout the state.[6] Membership meetings are held at least annually.[7][8]
William Stanley Hoole was a founding member of the AHA, and served as the editor of The Alabama Review, from 1948 to 1967.[9] As of 2022, the president of AHA is Jim Bagget of the Birmingham Public Library.
