New Histories

Foreword

Welcome to New Histories, a student-led platform that has been running for over ten years! We publish historical articles created, edited and published by students on topics of their choice.

With a focus on community building, our aim is to make history more accessible to a wider audience. We hope to become a multimedia magazine, with not only written posts, but also podcasts, videos, artwork and more. The choice is yours!

It is important to remember that this is not academic work so you don't need to treat your contributions like an essay. There is no need for references or word counts. New Histories is an opportunity for all History students to tell the history you want in the way you want. 

You can write about anything you want. However, we particularly welcome contributions based on monthly themes and observances. We want you to write about the things you are passionate about, while covering a range of topics, times and places. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at history.blogs@sheffield.ac.uk
