The Alabama Historical Association (established 1947) of Alabama, United States, is an historical society that aims to "discover, procure, preserve, and diffuse whatever may relate to the natural, civil, literary, cultural, economic, ecclesiastical, and political history of the state of Alabama."[1][2]
James Frederick Sulzby (1905–1988) served as president of the organization from 1947 through 1949.[3][4] The rest of the officers for 1947 included Dr. A. B. Moore as Vice President and Maud McLure Kelly as Secretary-Treasurer. The Executive Committee included Dr. Henry T. Shanks, Dr. William Pratt Dale, Mr. William H. Brantley and Dr. A. W. Reynolds.[5]
In 1948 the group launched the quarterly journal The Alabama Review (ISSN 0002-4341).[6] The association also oversees a program of historical markers throughout the state.[7] Membership meetings are held at least annually.[8][9]
William Stanley Hoole was a founding member of the AHA, and served as the editor of The Alabama Review, from 1948 to 1967.[10] As of 2022, the president of AHA is Jim Bagget of the Birmingham Public Library.
