Identify and invite outstanding historians to offer the latest and best in U.S. history research to your audience.

Created in 1981 by OAH president Gerda Lerner, the OAH Distinguished Lectureship Program now features more than three hundred and fifty historians who have made major contributions to the study of American history.

Each speaker has agreed to give one lecture on the OAH's behalf during the 2009-2010 academic year, designating the lecture fee as a donation to the OAH. Lecture fees start at $1,000. The host institution pays the lecture fee to the OAH and reimburses the speaker's travel and lodging expenses.
