Welcome to the History Department
Call for Papers, HHR 2024

Hanover Historical Review accepting submissions!

Written and edited by students, the Hanover Historical Review is dedicated to the promotion of excellence in undergraduate scholarship and writing.

If you're a current student and you've written a paper on a historical topic in the past year, we'd love to see it! 

Ongoing Projects

Founded in 1992, the Hanover Historical Review is a student-edited journal of student scholarship. The HHR Editorial Board welcomes submissions of essays, document transcriptions, and book reviews of a historical nature from any discipline.


A student-faculty-staff team is telling the stories of the first African-American graduates from Hanover College through Learning in Black and White.  We'd love for you to join us -- with research assistance or memories or documents.  Please contact historians@hanover.edu if you can help.


The Hanover Historical Texts Collection is the history department's pioneering project to put primary source documents online. In 1995, we were among the first to digitize historical documents for use in classrooms around the world.  We continue to add to the collection, and we are delighted that researchers, students, and other interested readers use it every day.
