 Record Unit 7150 - American Ornithologists' Union, Records, 1883-1977
The American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) was organized by three members of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, Joel Asaph Allen, William Brewster, and Elliott Coues, who wanted to establish an American society for ornithologists similar to the British Ornithologists' Union.
The aim of the AOU is the advancement of ornithological science through annual meetings, membership, committees, and publications.
The affairs of the AOU are administered under a constitution and by-laws by elected officers and a council.

Coues appears to be about the only leading ornithologist around the turn of the last century who thought feathers could turn colors without molting, and the topic was hotly debated for a number of years (e.g.
He was elected as a Corresponding Fellow in the AOU in 1903, prior to his immigration to the United States in 1922, and eventually became an Honorary Fellow.

 USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: Obsolete English Names of North American Birds and Their Modern Equivalents
Ornithologists not well versed in taxonomic matters might save valuable research time if they could immediately relate a bit of information recorded in the older literature to the name of a species with which they are familiar.
Many North American species were named because of superficial similarities to Old World groups—most thrashers were originally called thrushes, and many warblers were called flycatchers.
The Check-list of North American Birds, published by the American Ornithologists' Union and considered the definitive source of both scientific and English names of birds by most North American workers, followed the practice of using English names for subspecies through its fourth (1931) edition.
