American Philological Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Philological Association (APA), founded in 1869, is a non-profit North American scholarly organization devoted to classical studies in language, literature, and history, especially of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. It is the preeminent association in the field, and publishes a prestigious journal, Transactions of the American Philological Association (TAPA).

Many notable scholars have served as executives of the APA, including Berthold Ullman. Adam Blistein is the current Executive Director of the APA.

The APA is currently based at the University of Pennsylvania, but was formerly based at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts.
