 For
over eighty years, the JAH, published by the
Organization of American Historians, has been the leading scholarly
publication in the field of American history. A major resource for students
and scholars, it includes reviews of books, films, exhibitions, and Web
sites as well as scholarly articles and historiographic essays.
Recent Scholarship is now online and available as a service to OAH
members. A searchable, cumulative database, RSO (Recent Scholarship Online)
begins with the June 2000 issue of the JAH and already has more
than 5,000 citations from hundreds of history-related publications.
 In
January 2000, the full text of current issues of the Journal of American
History became available online for the first time at the
History Cooperative. Access to journal content is limited to individual
members of the Organization
of American Historians and to institutions that subscribe to the print
version of the Journal.

imperialism (Paul A. Kramer); domestic vigilance and vigilantism
during World War I (Christopher Capozzola); immigrants and
foreign-language instruction in the first half of the twentieth
century (Jonathan Zimmerman); and the cause of "language
minorities" during the Nixon administration (Gareth Davies).
