The list below represents examples of textbooks that meet the curricular requirements of AP United States History. The list below is not exhaustive and the texts listed should not be regarded as endorsed, authorized, recommended, or approved by the College Board. Not using a book from this list does not mean that a course will not receive authorization.

For discussions of the usefulness of these texts and other teaching materials in the AP U.S. History classroom, please consult the Teachers' Resources section of AP Central.
