The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. We define the regional and the local in broad terms, to include inhabited spaces such as the village, the small or medium-sized town and the city; administrative units (the parish, county, the departément, the contado) and geographical locations. We believe that whilst histories defined by the boundaries of the nation state can marginalise the contribution of all but a small group of historical actors, local and regional history offers a broad framework through which to investigate the cultural, social, political and economic practices of a broader section of society including women, children, peasants and workers as well as the environment. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories are not a substitute for national histories but seek to broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus.
The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies.
The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
Change of volume number for 2013: due to unforeseen complications in the publishing schedule for previous volumes of the journal, the volume number has now changed to Volume 8 for 2013. We would like to apologise for any confusion caused and if you have any questions, please contact l.bradford@maneypublishing.com.
