Columbia Undergraduate Journal of History

The Columbia Undergraduate Journal of History is a new project of the Undergraduate History Council at Columbia University. To solicit material, the Undergraduate History Council asks professors to nominate the most outstanding undergraduate work from each of their classes. We post all nominated articles, and then select from among them to be published in the Journal.

Submit articles to the Journal. View submission guidelines.

Deadline: Nominations for publication in the journal will be accepted through the end of August, 2008 for publication in our fall issue. Articles should not be longer than 40 pages.
