Welcome

The Journal of Historical Biography is an international, peer-reviewed, open access periodical that publishes twice annually, in spring and fall.

The journal accepts submissions in English or French embracing any aspect of historical biography, including biographical portraits of prominent individuals of any nation, and theoretical, methodological, or philosophical pieces that reflect on the larger issues associated with writing biography or autobiography. Reviews of biographical works and of works related to historical biography are also solicited.

Academic notices, such as calls for papers and notification of conferences, awards, and new publications, will be posted on our News page.
