The AHA19 Yearbook
AHA annual meetings are like homecomings for historians, minus the parade and the band. For four days, historians mingle and socialize, catch up with old friends and make new ones, change ideas and outfits, and celebrate all that is best about the discipline and the profession. Historians, this year’s Perspectives annual meeting issue, the AHA19 Yearbook, is dedicated to you.
