Features
For scholars interested in joining wide-ranging conversations about the recent past, MAH offers not only top-quality research articles but also a lively “below the fold” section with special features and innovative content. Historians are not always able to fit all of their insights and findings into their books and research articles. MAH therefore provides a place to share that extra creativity and passion.
