Retention of seven staff members and contractors of the Organization of American Historians, maintaining its services in support of historians and history teachers.

Because of COVID-19, many of the activities that constitute the heart and soul of the Organization of American Historians were seriously curtailed with the cancellation of the 2020 OAH Annual Meeting and of the all Distinguished Lectureship programming. We are seeking funding to continue to employ staff to continue current programs and develop new digital ones (e.g., online conference presentations, a virtual connected community, webinars, and podcasts) to engage members virtually should the OAH be unable to provide in-person programming.
