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 Temple's Journal Finder in such cases. There is a good chance that the journal you need will be available full-text online through JSTOR, ProjectMuse, or another Temple database.

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) currently lists 126 peer-reviewed history journals that do not charge readers or their institutions for access. Read more about Open Access.

Dated but still useful is the 5-volume Historical Periodicals Directory (c1981-1986), call # Z6205 .H654. Click Request from Library Depository in Diamond.


Ulrich's Periodicals Directory provides comprehensive information about thousands of journals, including both active and ceased titles. Browse all "History" journals, limit by language, place of publication, etc.

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

Many online history journals from such publishers as Blackwell, Cambridge, Oxford and Sage offer RSS feeds. Feeds allow researchers to keep up-to-date with recent articles from their favorite journals. Today RSS feeds fill the 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 the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History.
