Southwestern Historical Quarterly

 

Editor: Randolph B. "Mike" Campbell, The Texas State Historical Association

The Texas State Historical Association is proud to join with UT Press to produce the Southwestern Historical Quarterly. Published since 1897, the Quarterly is the oldest continuously published scholarly journal in Texas, bringing the latest research in Texas history to a wide audience of history lovers and scholars.

Since the Quarterly publishes approximately sixteen articles each year, it is our editorial policy to publish original research on Texas history topics that have the greatest historical significance and the broadest reader interest. The Quarterly also regularly publishes edited and annotated historical documents.

Special-topic issues over the years have included one on the University of Texas at Austin, five on Texas and its sesquicentennial, and three award-winning issues on the Texas state capitol, J. Frank Dobie and Walter Prescott Webb, and the Alamo. Articles in the Quarterly have won numerous awards, and the journal itself received a Journalistic Achievement Award for Excellence in Historical Journalism in 2000 from the Texas Historical Foundation.

We are also pleased to announce that esteemed Texas historian Randolph B. "Mike" Campbell of the University of North Texas is joining us as the new editor of the Quarterly. Campbell, a former president of the Texas State Historical Association, is the author of numerous books, including Gone to Texas: A History of the Lone Star State and An Empire for Slavery: The Peculiar Institution in Texas, 1821-1865.

The Southwestern Historical Quarterly is published by UT Press for the Texas State Historical Association in cooperation with the Center for Studies in Texas History at the University of Texas at Austin. You may subscribe only to the Quarterly or you may become a member of the Texas State Historical Association and receive the Quarterly with your membership. Contact the TSHA at 512/471-1525 or visit http://www.TSHAonline.org for membership information.

The Southwestern Historical Quarterly is indexed in American Humanities Index.

"Because of the attractive layout, typography, and accompanying photographs, this is a handsome publication compared with similar scholarly titles." —2004 Magazines for Libraries
