History Compass is a peer-reviewed online-only academic journal published byWiley-Blackwell. Originally launched in association with theInstitute of Historical Research (London), its aim is to "solve the problem of keeping up with new developments in history by providing historians with regularly updated overviews of the important trends, debates, resources and publications in the field...combining a current awareness service with a survey journal for lecturers, researchers, and advanced students of history."[1]
Launched in 2003, within three years it had become a leading high-profile peer-reviewed electronic journal for history, featuring more than 100 new articles per year and its site routinely receiving 300,000 hits a month.[2][3]
The editor-in-chief is historianProjit B. Mukharji, of theUniversity of Pennsylvania (2018–present).
The founding editor-in-chief was the lateMark Kishlansky, ofHarvard University (2003-2008), followed byFelice Lifshitz, of theUniversity of Alberta (2008-2013); andLaura Smoller, of theUniversity of Rochester (2013-2018). The journal has benefited from a close association with theAmerican Historical Association, which for a time offered its members a free six-month trial.[3][4] The journal also offered a now-defunct graduate essay prize, the results of which were to be announced at the AHA's annual meeting.[5]
