JAAHC strives to become an exemplar of the scholarly journal in the digital age by eschewing rigid editions in favor of facilitating conversations around topics relevant to how technology is changing research, teaching, and scholarly communication within the history profession. More about types of publications are below; also read about our unique approach to peer review.

We especially encourage collaborative work and contributions from contributors at all career stages. Articles should address theoretical, practical, or methodological issues relevant to the historical profession. This includes work about teaching with technology, new genres of of historical writing, techniques for manipulating data sets, and how to use visualization tools and interpret work done with them. Even if the article does not describe any specific historical research project, it should be explained how it is applicable to research or teaching. Articles should be accessible to the widest possible audience of historians.

Proceedings - Lots of meetings/workshops/mini-conferences/un-conferences spawn useful discussions, and often produce informal, collaborative whitepapers on a given topic. These are rarely, if ever, fit for traditional academic publishing, but these types of conversations need to be preserved. They provide a state-of-the-art report that rarely is as useful when it appears in a more formal guise.
