The American Heritage series is a large-scale local history project with 110 volumes published between 2007 and 2021. Each book focuses on a specific community, ethnic group, or regional tradition within the United States. Topics range from Cherokee pottery and Gullah Geechee heritage to the Irish communities of Portland, Maine, and the Jewish history of Plymouth.
The series covers all regions of the country and a wide variety of cultures: African American history in Alexandria, Virginia; German immigrants in Louisville; Native Americans of East-Central Indiana; San Diego lowriders; and women’s history in states from Oregon to Utah. The books are published by The History Press and draw on local archives, oral histories, and primary sources to document stories that might otherwise go unrecorded.
