The History Students' Association is pleased to announce that it will be publishing a journal of the best work of History undergraduates at the University of Toronto. The editorial board is composed of both professors and senior undergraduates. The Journal will be published online in PDF format in 2005.

DEADLINES: Please submit material by November 25, 2005.

Submissions: The Journal is interested in publishing research essays (up to 6,000 words in length), book reviews (maximum 750 words) and film reviews (maximum 750 words).

The Editors encourage all senior students to submit essays; though the journal is primarily interested in publishing senior level (work from 300 series or 400 series courses), junior level work will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approximately 5-8 essays will be published along with about a half dozen book reviews and a half dozen film reviews. Please direct enquiries to the editor at bruce.harpham (at) utoronto.ca.

For book reviews, students are strongly encouraged to review books that were published in 2004. For those interested in reviewing a book not mentioned on the list (which is far from exhaustive), please send a brief e-mail to us with the title, author and publisher and we will let you know if the book is acceptable.
