Publications

In the legacy of early publications like Freedom’s Journal and Crisis Magazine, AAHGS publishes quality journalistic and scholarly research in the area of African American history and genealogy.

 



Our contributors include individuals — advanced, intermediate or novice — writing on the frontlines of promoting, sharing, remembering, researching African American family and social history, and genealogy as scholars, journalists, family historians, or genealogists.

Quarterly Newsletter
We are primarily a digital publication but hard copies are available on a limited basis.  To receive physical copies of AAHGS News, please log into your member portal and add the charge to your account.

AAHGS News uses journalism “to tell our own story” much like Russworm and Cornish, the publishers of the first black newspaper in America, Freedom’s Journal, did beginning in 1827.  We are keenly aware that although the first slave ship arrived on North American shores some 400 years ago (1619), the majority of the histories, life stories, and genealogies of African Americans are waiting to be excavated, written, and published. 

Our goal is to encourage, assist, and provide an outlet in our pages to family historians/journalists.
