DAR Magazine Goals During the Storage
Administration
|
- Commemorate the 250th anniversary of
the United States of America with
intention and purpose. Stories should
reflect on the values of liberty,
democracy and the sacrifices made by
those who came before us.
- Commemorate the National Society’s
unique contributions to the American
story by documenting the efforts of
states and chapters for posterity.
- Tell member stories that celebrate
the distinct qualities and
perspectives of DAR members.
- Support the goal of increased
membership recruitment and retention
by showcasing the many ways in which
DAR membership benefits women as they
serve their communities in pursuit of
the DAR Mission of historic
preservation, education and
patriotism.
- Promote enhanced member engagement
with DAR publications.

Digital Magazine Transition
During the October 11, 2025, National
Board of Management meeting, the Board
considered a proposal regarding
digitization of NSDAR’s two print
publications, the American Spirit
magazine and Daughters newsletter.
The proposal was prepared by staff and the
National Chair of the DAR Magazine
Committee at the request of the Executive
Committee.
Upon receiving, reviewing and considering
the proposal, the Board voted to cease
print, subscriber-only publication of American
Spirit and Daughters with
the March/April 2026 issues and to
introduce a single digital publication in
July/August 2026 that will be made
available to all Daughters as a member
resource at no cost. This new digital
publication will be highly interactive and
designed to welcome new DAR members and
engage all members in the mission of the
National Society, as well as feature a
user-friendly, enjoyable mobile experience
and opportunities for sharing content on
social media as a public relations tool.
We look forward to this next chapter for
our DAR publications.
- Information regarding dispensation
of magazine subscriptions extending
beyond the March/April 2026 issue was
circulated in January.
- May/June newsletter advertising
should be submitted as normal.
July/August advertising should be
submitted as normal but may include
color photographs. Additional
information regarding digital
publication advertising will also be
available later in January.
- There will no need to "register" for
the digital publication. All members
who have valid email addresses on file
in e-Membership that have NOT been
unsubscribed from DAR communications
will receive it beginning in July. If
you receive the DAR News Roundup once
a month, you are subscribed.
