Midland History

The academic journal Midland History  is edited within the CWMH by Dr Malcolm Dick . The journal is published three times a year, with most issues comprising a mix of articles and book reviews.

Midland History is the principal journal covering the history of the English midlands. First produced in 1971, the journal is managed by an editorial board of scholars who are regional and local history specialists, operating under the auspices of the University of Birmingham. It publishes scholarly work on the counties of Bedfordshire, Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Midland History is a peer reviewed journal which prints articles on midland subjects from professional and independent historians and research students in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

The aim of the journal is to stimulate and encourage serious scholarly work on the history of the midlands from Roman times to the twenty-first century. Articles treat the history of particular localities and examine historical issues connected with the region, setting these in a broader context and drawing comparisons with other areas.

Midland History also supports a biennial conference, offers an annual essay prize for scholars who are publishing for the first time, and provides bursaries to support postgraduate work. We also publish thematic special issues, devoted to historical subjects of any period which have significance across the region. Prospective authors are invited to contact the editor with proposals for publication and to obtain details of how to submit articles at [email protected]

Graduate student essay contest from the michigan historical review.

The Michigan Historical Review (MHR) is still accepting submissions for its 2024 Graduate Student Essay Contest. The MHR is the only scholarly history journal in the state, and we publish twice a year. The winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and publication in the Spring 2025 issue.

Today more than ever, those who seek college-level positions need to build a curriculum vitae that includes at least a measure of scholarly publication. This is a wonderful opportunity for an aspiring historian to begin publishing.

Entries must be graduate-level papers that involve the history of Michigan in some manner and must include original research from primary sources. Papers should be a recommended 10,000-15,000 words, footnoted, double-spaced, without the writer’s name on any pages. A cover letter including the school program and supervisor’s name must be included with the essay. Submissions should be e-mailed to [email protected] no later than July 1, 2024 . Members of our editorial board read the essays and provide each with a critique to assist in reshaping the essay into a more publishable form. In the case of entries that do not win, but show promise of being publishable after revision, we urge student authors to revise and resubmit for an additional double-blind reading. The process can be a very valuable experience for your students.
