The Alabama Historical Association (est. 1947) of Alabama, United States, is an historical society that aims to "discover, procure, preserve, and diffuse whatever may relate to the natural, civil, literary, cultural, economic, ecclesiastical, and political history of the state of Alabama."[1][2] James Frederick Sulzby (1905-1988) served as president of the organization from 1947 through 1949.[3][4] In 1948 the group launched the quarterly journal Alabama Review (ISSN 0002-4341).[5] It also oversees a program of historical markers throughout the state.[6] Membership meetings are held at least annually.[7][8]

As of 2022, the president of AHA is Jim Bagget of the Birmingham Public Library.
