Essays

The Journal is published quarterly by the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. The Journal publishes original essays, including on-line projects, and reviews scholarly books on all aspects of U.S. history for the time period from 1865 through 1920. The journal is available online at the History Cooperative.

Although there are several online journals, Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era Online is the first to link online and print publication. We invite your comments and suggestions on this new venture. We are especially interested in ideas about fostering online scholarly and pedagogical dialogue. We will publish several sorts of projects:

  • Materials that complement articles published in the print journal and allow the reader to explore one or another aspect of the essay in greater depth.
  • Materials that explore pedagogical opportunities afforded by articles published in the print journal.
  • Original research on any of the topics covered by the Journal where the use of images, media, and/or software suggests or requires online publication.
