The Filipino American National Historical Society Journal is the only journal devoted exclusively to the identification, gathering, preservation, and dissemination of Filipino American history and culture in the U.S. The society was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1982 by Dorothy Laigo Cordova and Fred Cordova, and now hosts 40+ regional chapters nationwide. 

The society and journal have long served as a primary informational resource for community organizations and educational institutions on Filipino American history. The annual journal will be available on Project MUSE, starting with Volume 11 (2023). As an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, each issue includes research by community-based and academic historians as well as personal histories.
