History Journal is the official journal of the Historical Association. Hosting a range of accessible research-driven features written by academic researchers from all stages of career and study, archivists, and practitioners, our online offering is an extension of the Historical Association’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. Supported by the Historical Association, we share their belief 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.
History is delighted to announce the appointment of our new Editor-in-Chief, Dr Jayne Gifford. Jayne is a specialist in British Imperial rule on the peripheries of Empire. Jayne is currently looking for submissions related to the history of sport, especially cricket. If you would like to discuss a potential submission, please email historyeditors@uea.ac.uk.

Jayne Gifford is our Editor-in-Chief. Jayne is a lecturer in Modern History at the University of East Anglia. Jayne’s research focuses upon the nature of British imperial rule on the peripheries of Empire, specifically knowledge networks and how imperial policy formulation was influenced by inter-personal relationships between politicians, military personnel and diplomats. Jayne’s first monograph Britain in Egypt: Egyptian Nationalism and Strategic Choices, 1919-1931 (Bloomsbury/I.B. Taurus, 2019) examined the genesis of Egyptian nationalism and British appeasement of Egyptian politicians to maintain its geo-strategic imperial network.
