From an early issue of Pioneer America (now renamed Material Culture)

“The geographical scope of the subject matter with which the journal is concerned is Canada, the United States, Mexico, Bermuda, and the West Indies, with a special concern for the historical, cultural, and environmental heritage of the United States. The scope of the journal is not restricted by national boundaries which that heritage cuts across.”

“The Society has also broadened its original concept of what pioneer America is. We are not limited to life on the frontier, or, indeed, to life in a pre-automobile society. Pioneer America encompasses, rather, all life in rural areas and towns which to some degree still typifies a former, simpler, way of living. The three-dimensional remains of pioneer America are still plentiful enough to be studied, and important enough to study thoroughly and completely.”
