Welcome to THE ALAMO
SOCIETY! The Alamo Society is an international
organization of professional and amateur historians
which was founded in 1986, the year of the Texas
Sesquicentennial. The members of The Alamo Society
are interested in one or more aspects of the Alamo,
the Shrine of Texas Liberty. Our logo (above), for
example, reflects the diverse interests of our
membership---from the Alamo of history (left) to
the Alamo of popular culture (John Wayne's Alamo
movie church appears on the right). The Alamo
Society has hosted an annual symposium/meeting
since 1986 at various sites around the United
States. However, most of the annual gatherings have
been in San Antonio, Texas, the home of the Alamo.
The official publication of The Alamo Society is
The Alamo Journal, a magazine-like newsletter of
research, news and opinion which is published four
times year (March, June, September and December).
