History Today is an illustrated history magazine. Published monthly in London since January 1951, it presents serious and 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] A sister publication History Review, produced tri-annually until April 2012, provided information for sixth-form history students.
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. The final issue of History Review was published in April 2012.[7]
