Journal Directories

The AHA's Directory of History Journals lists hundreds of peer-reviewed, English-language history journals with links to the journals' homepages. Certain back issues of many titles are freely available online; others can only be accessed via subscription. Remember to check the Manhattanville Journal Portal in such cases. There is a good chance that the journal you need will be available full-text online through JSTOR, ProjectMuse, or another Manhattanville database.

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) currently lists 116 peer-reviewed history journals that do not charge readers or their institutions for access. Read more about Open Access.

Stay Up-To-Date: RSS Feeds for History Journals

Many online history journals from Blackwell, Cambridge, Oxford, Sage and other publishers offer RSS feeds. Feeds allow researchers to keep up-to-date with recent articles from their favorite journals. Today RSS feeds fill the same role once played by table-of-contents alerting services. Below, by way of example, find an RSS feed for the four most recent issues of Middle East Studies. Please contact me if you have questions about setting up a feed for your favorite history journal.
