Discovering Alabama's Past

The Alabama Historical Association is a special kind of organization called a historical society. Its main goal is to learn about and protect the rich history of Alabama. They want to find, collect, save, and share everything about Alabama's past. This includes its nature, people, culture, and how it grew over time.

The Alabama Review Journal

One important way the Association shares history is through its magazine. In 1948, the group started a special journal called Alabama Review. This magazine comes out four times a year. It shares new discoveries and stories about Alabama's history with its readers. The journal helps historians and anyone interested in the past learn more.

Remembering History with Markers

The Association also helps put up historical markers around Alabama. These are special signs that tell about important places or events in history. You might see them on the side of a road or in a town square. These markers help people remember and learn about the significant moments that shaped the state.

Who Leads the Association?

The Alabama Historical Association has leaders who guide its work. James Frederick Sulzby was the first president of the group, serving from 1947 to 1949. As of 2022, Jim Bagget from the Birmingham Public Library is the president. The Association holds meetings at least once a year for its members.
