Journal overview, aims and scope

First published in 1912, History has been a leader in its field ever since. It is unique in its range and variety, packing its pages with stimulating articles, extensive book reviews, and editorial notes. History balances its broad chronological coverage with a wide geographical spread of articles featuring contributions from social, political, cultural, economic and ecclesiastical historians. An integral part of each issue is the review section giving critical reviews of the latest scholarship across an extensive chronological and geographical range.

History seeks to publish articles on broad, challenging themes, which not only display sound scholarship which is embedded within current historiographical debates, but push those debates forward. History encourages submissions which are also attractively and clearly written.

History is published by Wiley Online Library. Visit the journal's pages 

The journal is now also supported by an online extension which aims to provide a collaborative, open-access space for discussion of historical research and inquiry and its relationship to the present-day, as well as to make the latest historical research accessible to those teaching and studying history in schools.
