The Penn History Review (PHR) is now accepting submissions for its Spring 2024 issue!

The PHR is a biannual publication of the Penn History Department featuring undergraduate historical research. If you are proud of a piece of historical writing and would like to see it published, please submit to the PHR! 

Papers do not necessarily have to be written for a history course; in fact, submissions are encouraged from any department, as long as the paper addresses a topic of historical interest and uses primary sources.

The PHR will be accepting submissions on a rolling basis through Wednesday, February 28th. We highly recommend submitting ASAP since papers will be reviewed and accepted on a first-come, first serve basis. Papers must be at least twelve pages double-spaced (with 1-inch margins) in Times New Roman font and include a bibliography that distinguishes between primary and secondary sources. Papers should also be submitted as Word documents rather than PDFs.

Previous editions of the PHR are available here: http://repository.upenn.edu/phr/

Please direct all submissions (as email attachments) and any questions or concerns you may have to [email protected].
