Published monthly in London since January 1951, it presents authoritative history to as wide a public as possible.[1] The magazine covers all periods and geographical regions and publishes articles of traditional narrative history alongside new research and historiography.[2]
History
The magazine was founded after the Second World War, by Brendan Bracken, former Minister of Information, chairman of the Financial Times and close associate of Sir Winston Churchill.[3] The magazine has been independently owned since 1981.[4] The founding co-editors were Peter Quennell, a "dashing English man of letters",[5] and Alan Hodge, former journalist at the Financial Times.[3]
The website contains all the magazine's published content since 1951. A digital edition, available on a dedicated app, was launched in 2012 and re-released with improvements in 2015.[6]
History Review was a tri-annual sister publication of History Today magazine publishing material for sixth form level history students. Launched in 1995, the final issue of History Review was published in April 2012.[7]
