The American Historical Association (AHA) is the oldest and largest society of historians and professors of history in the United States. Founded in 1884, the association promotes historical studies, the teaching of history, and the preservation of and access to historical materials. It publishes ''The American Historical Review'' five times a year, with scholarly articles and book reviews. The AHA is the major organization for historians working in the United States, while the Organization of American Historians is the major organization for historians who study and teach about the United States. The group received a congressional charter in 1889, establishing it "for the promotion of historical studies, the collection and preservation of historical manuscripts, and for kindred purposes in the interest of American history, and of history in America." == Current activities == As an umbrella organization for the profession, the AHA works with other major historical organizations and acts as a public advocate for the field. Within the profession, the association defines ethical behavior and best practices, particularly through its "Statement on Standards of Professional Conduct"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statement on Standards of Professional Conduct (updated 2011) )〕 The AHA also develops standards for good practice in teaching and history textbooks, but these have limited influence〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Teaching & Learning - AHA )〕 The association generally works to influence history policy through the National Coalition for History.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Coalition for History )〕 The association publishes ''The American Historical Review'', a major journal of history scholarship covering all historical topics since ancient history〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Historical Review - AHR )〕 and ''Perspectives on History'', the monthly news magazine of the profession.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perspectives on History - AHA )〕 In 2006 the AHA started a blog focused on the latest happenings in the broad discipline of history and the professional practice of the craft that draws on the staff, research, and activities of the AHA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AHA Today )〕 The association's annual meeting〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Meeting - AHA )〕 each January brings together more than 5,000 historians from around the United States to discuss the latest research, look for jobs, and discuss how to be better historians and teachers. Many affiliated historical societies hold their annual meetings simultaneously.
