The Timeline seeks to combine the History-factual occurrences or accounts with the Heritage-Our story about the context for the factual event, place, or person. We intend to continuously, unbiasedly curate, and add to this timeline as new information comes to our attention. I would greatly appreciate your input. Before timeline additions are made, public submissions must undergo a review process overseen by historians. Join our email list and receive the AAHA Journal.
