What We Do
Through Fellowship, Collaboration, and Scholarship, we Commemorate and Explore the Alamo’s History and the Related Topics and Eras Surrounding it.
Members of AHS meet in San Antonio, Texas to commemorate the fall of the Alamo on March 6, 1836, and to pay tribute to the brave individuals who contributed to Texas' struggle for independence. The organization presents an annual symposium during the March 6 observances, open to members and to the public. AHS also publishes The Alamo Dispatch, an online magazine, distributed to members three times a year. (Print issues are available with certain membership plans). We also contribute in various ways to the preservation of the Alamo and its scholarship. Many members are leaders in bringing the Alamo story to the public through publications, media productions, and historical events.

Every year, to commemorate the fall of the Alamo on March 6, members of Alamo Historical Society convene in San Antonio for history and fellowship. In addition to opportunities to renew bonds with old friends and meet new Alamo enthusiasts, our annual symposium affords attendees a chance to see presentations from historians, authors, and other experts in all things Alamo and the Texas Revolution. Some years, we offer additional events such as banquets, social gatherings, bus trips to other sites pertinent to the Texas Revolution.
Our Publication
Each member of the Alamo Historical Society receives a copy of our flagship publication, The Alamo Dispatch, filled with book reviews, history, and feature articles about the Alamo and Texas history. Some membership levels offer full-color printed issues of the Dispatch, as well. NOTE: See more about the Dispatch details in the dropdown under the “Victory or Death” menu section or click the magazine below.
