The AHR welcomes submissions of traditional articles, digital media, and other formats that advance new historical knowledge.
We seek innovative work that addresses the diverse spatial, temporal, and thematic dimensions animating contemporary historical inquiry. In considering any submission for publication in the AHR, the editors look for pieces that make original arguments and can communicate their findings to the wider discipline. Because our readers embrace all fields of history and are located throughout the world, the AHR aims to publish work that reaches beyond various specialties and subfields and engages the common interests of the historical discipline as a whole.
A submission will be not considered for publication if it is concurrently under consideration by another journal or press, or if it has been published, is in submission, under contract, or in press elsewhere. Restrictions apply to both the substance and the exact wording of the manuscript. If the manuscript is accepted, the editors expect that its appearance in the AHR will precede republication of the essay, or any significant part thereof, in another work. Final decisions regarding publication are up to the discretion of the editors.
Figure Information
The AHR welcomes the use of figures in your piece so long as they are high enough resolution (at least 300 DPI) and permission from the copyright holder has been secured. Permission and high-resolution figure files are not needed until the article has reached the acceptance stage, but do note that if your article is accepted, both will be required.
Please consult the following documents for more information on figure inclusion and the AHR's figure tracking spreadsheet.
