Mission
Founded in 2016 and relaunched in 2024, the Georgetown Journal of History is an independent, student-run publication that seeks to showcase outstanding undergraduate historical scholarship on a wide range of topics. We have published the written work of numerous students from universities across the U.S. in our Print issues. And through our Blog posts, we simultaneously highlight specialized historical research and content undertaken by members of our Georgetown community.
Understanding the value of engagement in undergraduate scholarship, the Journal’s editing and publication process prioritizes collaboration. Our leadership reviews Print submissions blindly before selecting articles for publication, and our Print editing teams work in tandem with authors over the course of each semester to produce excellent, long-form articles. Our Blog features multimedia, short-form presentations of history that engage with the Georgetown and D.C. communities.
Process
Submissions to the semesterly Print issue of the Journal are open to any current or former undergraduate students. Submissions from any discipline are welcome so long as they advance an historical argument and were written during the student’s undergraduate study. Detailed submission guidelines can be found here.
