Founded in 1920 as Canada’s national history journal, the Canadian Historical Review focuses on publishing articles and book reviews examining the history of Canada, including imperial, transnational, and comparative perspectives. Otherwise, the journal’s objectives remain today fundamentally what they were almost a hundred years ago: to publish high-quality, authoritative, and innovative articles in both English and French, based on original research and sound methodology. These articles are to reflect the best of the diversity within Canadian historical scholarship while, at the same time, speaking to our broad readership. In addition to research articles and the broadest selection of book reviews on Canadian-related historical subjects, the journal also promotes scholarly dialogue and debate through “Forums,” and “Historical Perspectives” features. These deal with methodological and historiographic questions that concern the diffusion of historical knowledge in the Canadian context from respectively either a single or multi-author perspective.
Historical Methods reaches an international audience of historians and other social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. Articles published in Historical Methods are often intended to describe a new data infrastructure project, offer insights on a new source of historical data to guide others in the use of the same data, or discuss ways to operationalize data or to implement new methodological approaches that others may emulate with similar data. In addition to its longtime interest in quantitative approaches to historical questions, Historical Methods also encourages submission of articles which address topics in the digital humanities and the rhetoric of social scientific history.
