The Journal of American History

The Journal of American History

The Journal of American History is published four times each year by the Organization of American Historians at Indiana University. The website for the Journal boasts multiple resources for the historian and for the teacher. Full text versions of all the issues of the Journal from 1999 to the present are available through the website, and older issues are made available through a link to the JSTOR database. Under the "Web Projects" tab on the website are two resource that can be very helpful: "Teaching the JAH" and "Textbooks and Teaching".
"Textbooks and Teaching" is a feature published once every year by a different author. Full text versions as well as other supplemental material from the authors can be found on the website as well. THe resources provided include articles, syllabi, lesson plans, teaching strategies, and more. Similarly, "Teaching the JAH" offers a multitude of resources for teachers at many levels. Each installment of "Teaching the JAH", published twice each year and contributed by various authors, offers ways to "teach the article" to a classroom. It provides useful resources pertaining the the content of the article such as maps, charts, pictures, reading questions, author commentary, primary sources, and links to supplemental websites in order to help "bridge this gap between the latest scholarly research and classroom teaching."
