History Journal, the official journal of the Historical Association, now features a new online extension at historyjournal.org.uk.

Hosting a range of accessible research-driven features written by academic researchers from all stages of career and study, archivists, and practitioners, our new website is an extension of the HA’s work in public history, and aims to make high quality cutting-edge research accessible to the general public.

We welcome contributions from a range of geographical, methodological or historical perspectives, and from all levels of study inside and outside ‘the academy’. 

As well as providing a collaborative, open-access space for discussion of historical research and inquiry and its relationship to the present-day, History's online extension also seeks to make the latest historical research accessible to those teaching and studying history in schools. We believe that the study of history should be accessible to all people in all levels and forms of study, both within and beyond the formal academy.

Recently-published pieces include:

• Historiography in Action: Teaching and Learning Historiographical Approaches Through Active Primary Source Analysis by Liz Goodwin 
• Using Scrapbooks as Historical Sources by Cherish Watton
• Do Mention The War: Discourses of Sacrifice and Obligation in White Rhodesian Society, 1964-1965 by David Kenrick
