History of Outdoor Writers Association of America
The Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) was formed April
9th, 1927 at the fifth annual convention of the Isaac Walton League of America
by journalists Morris Ackerman, Peter P. Carney, Cal Johnson, Buell A.
Patterson, Jack Miner and Mrs. Hal Kane. OWAA is a nonprofit, international
organization that represents a diverse group of professional communicators
dedicated to sharing the outdoor experience. They inform the public about
outdoor activities, issues and the responsible use of our natural resources.
The OWAA national headquarters is located in Missoula, Montana. J. Hammond
Brown, outdoor editor of the Baltimore News-Post, began the organization’s
newsletter in April 1940.
This collection contains successive monthly issues of
Outdoors Unlimited, the newsletter of the Outdoor Writers
Association of America from April 1940 through 2005. The newsletters include
articles regarding outdoor journalism and writing, articles on hunting,
fishing, conservation, environmental policy, book reviews, member news,
scholarships, contests, tax and financial-planning ideas, supporting member
news tips and more.
