What Form Can History Take Today?
The American Historical Review has a section of the journal called History Unclassified, with Kate Brown as consulting editor. This section features unusual and surprising contributions that do not fit our usual article format. We conceive of this format as capacious and experimental in approach and content.
We welcome authors' archival stories and offbeat discoveries, unexpected connections with other fields, and research experiences that raise new methodological questions. We are open to historical writing and presentation in new formats, and to literary explorations of new epistemologies derived from emergent technologies, insights from the age of the Anthropocene, or recent developments that have transformed our understanding of what constitutes an archive and an archivist.
