Central European History is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Conference Group for Central European History of the American Historical Association. The journal was first issued in 1968, and as the title might suggest, it is geared toward scholars of the history of Central Europe. However, the journal covers a broad scholarly base, as it encourages an approach to history from a number of interdisciplinary perspectives, keeping the content fresh and fast-paced. Though much Central European historical scholarship deals with the post-WWII and post-Berlin Wall eras, the journal has published articles that deal with far less modern time periods, especially the medieval era.
