New Histories…the free online History magazine

Welcome to New Histories, the free online History-themed magazine, brought to you by students from the University of Sheffield (along with a few other contributors).

Our aim and mission statement is: to make history writing more accessible and more interesting for everyone. That means you! Whether you are a student of history yourself, studying something other than History, interested in the past, looking for a good read, or just here by accident, New Histories can offer something for you. The site consists of well-written, interesting and often exciting articles, written by undergraduate History students, postgraduate History students, and, in some cases, professional academic historians.

New Histories is a student-led initiative, supported by the University of Sheffield’s Department of History. For more information about the New Histories project and team, please see our “About Us” section and the credits page.

Special thanks go to CILASS for agreeing to fund the project, Dr Jamie Wood for his advice and encouragement, Dr Karen Harvey for agreeing to be our Academic Advisor, Ellie Veryard for being instrumental in getting the project this far, Duncan Robinson for the name, Ben Ferguson for changing and re-changing his beautiful artwork, Charlotte D’Arcy for the excellent logo, and everyone else involved for making the project so successful.

A final massive thank you goes to Liam Geoghegan for all his continued hard work and the excellent job he did as New Histories founder and Editor-in-Chief. Mention must also go to the Editors-in-Chief for 2010/11, Tom Hercock and Amy Calladine, who ensured the project was carried on so successfully following Liam’s departure.
