Connect with outstanding speakers who have made major contributions to the study of American history. Created in 1981 by OAH president Gerda Lerner, the OAH Distinguished Lectureship Program now features more than three hundred U.S. historians. Here we highlight forty-two appointees who are joining the roster in 2007-2008. For a complete list of all participating OAH Distinguished Lecturers, please visit http://www.oah.org/lectures.

Each speaker has agreed to give one lecture on OAH’s behalf during the 2007-2008 academic year, designating the lecture fee in full as a donation to OAH. Lecture fees start at $1,000. Host institutions pay the lecture fee directly to OAH, in addition to the speakers' travel and lodging expenses.
