Alabama Heritage 35 Year Anniversary
In 1986, under the inspiring editorship of founder Suzanne Wolfe, Alabama Heritage published its first issue. Now, 140 issues later, the magazine is proud to celebrate thirty-five years of publishing a magazine that was created with a broad conception of “heritage” and incorporates more than traditional history. Alabama Heritage, published quarterly, tells the stories of Alabama that educate, inspire, and entertain.

Spring 2021 Issue of Alabama Heritage Features Previously Unpublished Photos of Margaret Bourke-White

4/5/2021

Picture
The Spring 2021 issue of Alabama Heritage magazine uncovers previously unpublished photomurals of the Chattahoochee Valley taken by one of America’s best-known photographers, Margaret Bourke-White. Authors Robin Watson and Frances Osborn Robb document the pioneering photographer’s visit to East Alabama in 1936 and how she left behind six towering photomurals of its thriving textile industry. Looking at these photos, it is easy to understand why and how she made her great photographic achievements: an innovator of photojournalism and the photo essay; a female photographer whose photos appeared in the first issues of Fortune and LIFE magazines; the first Westerner to photograph in the Soviet Union; one of the first female war correspondents; and one of the most famous women of her era.

Alabama Heritage Publishes First Book in Honor of State's Bicentennial

10/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Inspired by Alabama’s bicentennial celebrations, and produced by NewSouth Books in partnership with Alabama Heritage magazine and the Alabama Bicentennial Commission, Alabama from Territory to Statehood compiles the work of experts on the history of the state’s formative years. Very little has been written on this period since the mid-20th century, making this volume a welcome addition to the Alabama history canon. Lavishly illustrated articles illuminate the Alabama story. Experts describe the state’s prehistory and colonial settlement. They describe border disputes and land surveys, squatting, prospecting, and the land rush remembered as “Alabama Fever.” They tell of the early settlements and growing towns, the architecture, food, the cultures of a place in flux. They sketch the experience of Creeks on the verge of removal and enslaved persons adjusting to arrival. They analyze the demise of a fragile economy and the legal and political creation of a new state.

Spring 2019 Issue of Alabama Heritage Features UAB’s 50th Anniversary

Picture
The Summer 2019 issue of Alabama Heritage magazine details Joseph Volker, first present of UAB, who helped turn a small Birmingham medical center into the medical school and university campus that became the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Volker is best remembered as a man who wanted to improve the lives of the people around him and in the Birmingham community that became his adopted home. As he would say in a quote that has become a mantra for UAB’s current 50th anniversary celebration, “We would do Birmingham a great disservice if we dreamed too little dreams.”

Spring 2019 Issue of Alabama Heritage Kate Duncan Smith DAR School

Alabama Heritage Issue 132 Spring 2019
The Spring 2019 issue of Alabama Heritage magazine features author Emily McMackin’s detailed look at the Kate Duncan Smith Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) School in Marshall County. What started as a viral post about the school’s founding on the Alabama Heritage Facebook page, the magazine’s editors knew the school and its history were worthy of a cover story. Built on land donated by the community, with local families helping construct the original building, the DAR school construction began in October 1923. Funds were raised by the Alabama Daughters and local community groups to furnish the classrooms. The school continues to elevate the community around it with more than half of the teachers and staff as alumni.
