Write an essay of no more than 12 pages (not including title page, bibliography and footnotes) discussing the development of one of the historical journals. You must choose the journal ahead of time and clear your choice with me. The purpose of this exercise is to allow you to explore and consider the nature of one major history journal. Your essay should cover the following issues: chronology, location, sponsorship, editors, contents, purpose, changes over time, first & last issues. You may, however, discuss other aspects that appear to you pertinent or relevant. You are not expected to research the journal extensively in other publications, but if you have the time and inclination, you may do so. Please submit your essay in hard copy, no 'classaire', just a single staple holding the pages together, placed in the corner at a 45-degree angle. :) Note also some technical specifications:
Here is a partial list of possible journals:
