The History Journal has been published by the students of Sonoma State since 1995. The editors invite the student body to submit work of any genre or style that includes a historical component. Now in its twenty-seventh year, the Journal seeks a wide variety of submissions, including:

• Papers (class assigned or independent)

• Short Historical Fiction

• Poetry

• Photography/Photo Essays

• Book Reviews (750-1000 words)

• Artwork 

Priority deadline for the 2023-2024 Journal is October 27th, 2023

Send submissions to sonomahistoryjournal@gmail.com. 

The editorial team meets as a class to compile, edit, and publish the journal.  The group works together to cover all aspects of scholarly journal publication, including management, editing, setting up and implementing an anonymous review system, selection of manuscripts, layout, budgeting, production, sales, and distribution.  The final result is an academic journal authored and edited by the students themselves, for the purpose of furthering knowledge and appreciation of history.

For further information, or if you would like to join the editorial team, please contact Professor Kathleen Noonan at noonan@sonoma.edu for further information.  Use the subject line “History Journal Inquiries.”
