OAH Committees
The mission of the organization is carried out by a variety of committees. There are three types of OAH constitutionally-mandated committees: standing committees that oversee the governance of the organization, service committees that advance the OAH mission, and award and prize committees that identify and recognize the best historical scholarship. Additionally, the OAH maintains external relationships through its organizational liaisons.
