The aim of this section of the website is not to provide a comprehensive library of History Education Research literature for history teachers educators; attempting this would be an impossible task. Instead, it aims to provide various ‘ways in’ to the world of research literature for beginner researchers in history education regardless of context. In doing so, it starts to map the research landscape, flags up examples of sources and provides overviews of some of the key themes in History Education Research.

We are excited to share that the UCL Press Open Access Journal, History Education Research Journal has launched a new call for papers on ‘History Education Beyond the Classroom’: https://journals.uclpress.co.uk/herj/news/25/
This special series aims to begin to map, model and reflect upon wider fora, forms and formats of history education in their social, formal and technological variety. The goal is to comprehend how these diverse forms of history education contribute to the representation, mediation, and formation of historical identities, vocabularies, experiences and imaginaries.
The editors encourage submissions that adopt interdisciplinary approaches that enhance the depth and breadth of history education research. Contributions can take the form of empirical studies, theoretical analyses, or reflective essays.
For more information, including how to submit, visit the journal’s Calls for papers page, here: https://journals.uclpress.co.uk/herj/news/25/
The Historical Association produces five main publications: The Historian, Teaching History (journal for secondary teachers), Primary History, History (the journal of the HA), and the History Education Research Journal (HERJ).
