The OAH Annual Meeting
Held in a different U.S. city each year, the OAH Annual Meeting is a multifaceted opportunity for historians to learn about current discourse, debate, and research in U.S. history. Attendees can connect with new colleagues, emerging leaders in the field, and valued peers by attending paper presentations and panel discussions over the three-day event. They can also browse new scholarship, educational innovations, and classroom technologies in the meeting’s exhibition area.

The OAH Community College Workshop is a three-day experience for community college historians. Designed to enrich the teaching of the U.S. history survey, the workshop presents new historical themes as well as the latest historical research in traditional themes to college survey instructors. To reach a wide audience of historians, the annual workshop is held in a different U.S. location each year.
