Membership Corner

News of the Organization

Beginning with this issue of the OAH Newsletter, we are introducing a new feature: the Membership Corner. With this new feature, we hope to provide answers to commonly asked membership questions, and to communicate new and exciting membership benefits as they arise. We want to remind you of services available while also opening up a dialogue so that the membership department can better meets the needs of all our members, new and old. Our first installment of the Membership Corner involves the OAH Member Services Account.

Q: Why should you set up a Member Services Account and how do you do it?

A: A Member Services Account allows you to stay current in your area of specialty. You can sign up to receive customized monthly e-mails of recent scholarship online citations. You can also quickly and easily preregister for the 2008 OAH Annual Meeting to be held Friday, March 28 through Monday March 31, in New York, and save money on your registration fees. Something available to all members is access to PDF versions of the OAH Magazine of History, back to April 2003. You can download the latest issue, Lincoln, Race, and Slavery, from the OAH Member Services webpage. If you need to change your address and other personal information, or if you would like quick answers to frequently asked questions, a Member Services Account will easily point you in the right direction.

All you need to do to create a Member Services Account is your OAH ID number, which is found above your name on the mailing label of this and all other publications you receive from OAH, or if you’re a new member, in your welcome letter. Simply point your browser to <http://www.oah.org/members> and follow the steps for new users.

We're excited to provide this new feature for our members and look forward to hearing your questions, comments, and concerns. Please contact us at <http://www.oah.org/about/contact.php>, or by phone at (812) 855-9873.
