A New Way to Shop Online for John Whitmer Books
Our superb webmaster, Terry Erisman, has set up an online catalog for John Whitmer Books titles. Each listing in the catalog is accompanied by a clickable Amazon affiliate link. If you follow one of these affiliate links to Amazon and purchase the book, John Whitmer will earn an extra 4.5% commission on the sale (and on anything else you purchase during that Amazon session). Just one more way to support your favorite history organization.

John Whitmer Books at MHA
Thanks so much to all who dropped by the John Whitmer Books table at MHA! Thanks to your support, we sold lots of copies of our newest title, Joseph and Lucy Smith’s Tunbridge Farm by Mark Staker and Don Enders. The conference was a smashing success, and it was a joy to see all your smiling, vaccinated faces again! (Photo courtesy of Steve Mayfield)

Virtual JWHA Annual Conference
Friday, October 22 and Saturday, October 23, 2021
With the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to prohibit large indoor gatherings, the JWHA Board has decided to conduct a 2021 virtual conference.
We appreciate the members who responded to the survey, giving the Board a basis for discussion. The Board was concerned that many members would be uncomfortable traveling at this time.
Members voted that if a digital event were to be held, they would prefer a two-day conference.
We look forward to the efforts of the Program Committee as they arrange for the scholarly presentations. The platform will allow for our annual Business Meeting.
