We are brand new... but we have a great heritage and roots that are deep. WWHA is the result of the uniting of two great Wild West history organizations... NOLA and WOLA. WWHA is everything each of them was... and more. Building on a solid foundation coupled with renewed enthusiasm, strong leadership, and unlimited opportunities, WWHA is a dynamic organization, shaped by its members.
A love of the history and lore of the Wild West is something people around the world share. WWHA gives us the opportunity to learn, to share what we know, and to enjoy the fellowship of others with similar interests. When WWHA members get together, there is no lull in the conversation!
We are fortunate to have as members many of the great historians and authors in this field of interest. However, EVERYONE who is interested in the Wild West, as defined in our Focus and Goals, should be a member of WWHA.

About the WWHA Journal
Having recently received the second issue of the WWHA Journal, I feel confident in saying the first issue was no fluke. See, I believed the first issue to be the most informative and interesting magazine ever published in the Old West genre. Said opinion may have been colored, as I found a gem, hidden in the footnotes of John and Karen Tanner's article on the Logan, New Mexico train robbery, revealing a character I was working on, who was believed to have disappeared into the teeming masses, was actually active in law enforcement well past the end of the 19th century.
