Does the AHA have a policy regarding the changing of authors’ names in AHA publications?

On request of the author, the AHA will update author names in the digital version of publications, including articles in the American Historical Review. AHR authors who change their name and wish to update their publications may request corrections via email to the Journals Author Support team at Oxford University Press. Print publications will not be updated unless the publication in question is reprinted in the future.

To maintain the author’s privacy, a correction will not be posted on the article or webpage. The AHA and AHR cannot guarantee third-party indexers will update the article.
