AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR STATE AND LOCAL
HISTORY
S. K. Stevens, President
The Association is publishing a new
quarterly journal titled
American Heritage. It will deal exclusively with the teaching of
local, community history in our schools,
historical societies, mu-
seums, and similar agencies throughout
the United States and
Canada. The editor will be Miss Mary
Cunningham, well known
for her work as editor of New York
History and the New York
State Historical Association's
publication, The Yorker, devoted
to local history in the schools.
The American Association feels there is
a genuine need, and a
place in the educational and historical
world on a professional
level, for a publication devoted solely
to the objectives and tech-
niques necessary in promoting more
effective teaching of our
American heritage at the state and local
level.
The American Heritage is
available at an annual subscription
rate of $1.50. Those who are
members of the American Associa-
tion will be allowed a special
subscription rate of $1.00. Send
subscriptions to Miss Mary E.
Cunningham, Editor, Cooperstown,
