The New-York Journal of American History

The New-York Historical Society announced the inaugural issue of its semi-annual publication The New-York Journal of American History in 2003. The Journal is a revival of the New-York Historical Society Quarterly, which was published between 1917 and 1980. The publication is designed to serve both scholars and the general history enthusiast alike.

The New-York Journal of American History temporarily suspended with volume 66 number 4 (2007) but plans to return as an online publication in the future. A volume 67, number 1 (2008) has been prepared and will be published online, but as of May 2009 has not appeared.

Way University Professor at Brown University and author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution, and The Creation of the American Republic, 1776-1787), Max Page (assistant professor of architecture and history at the University of Massachusetts and author of The Creative Destruction of Manhattan, 1900-1940), and many others.
