URBAN HISTORY (Cambridge University Press) Editorial Changes and Call for Papers
In response to expanding circulation and interest, the Editorial Board of URBAN HISTORY (Cambridge University Press), is delighted to announce two important changes in its editorial arrangements, with immediate effect. 1) Philip J. Ethington, of the University of Southern California, will serve as the North American Editor. He will receive article submissions on subjects concerning North America and will conduct the referee process. Gail Radford, of State University of N.Y. at Buffalo, will continue as Book Review Editor for North American subjects. 2) Richard Rodger of Leicester University, U.K., Editor of URBAN HISTORY since 1987 will now serve as Joint-editor with Rosemary Sweet, also of Leicester University. Rodger will have responsibility for all material that post-dates 1800 and Sweet for that which pre-dates 1800.
URBAN HISTORY occupies a central place in historical scholarship, with an outstanding record of interdisciplinary contributions, and a broad-based and distinguished panel of referees and international advisors. Each issue features wide-ranging research articles covering social, economic, political and cultural aspects of the history of towns and cities. The journal also includes book reviews, summaries of PhD theses, and surveys of recent articles in academic journals. In addition, URBAN HISTORY acts as a forum for stimulating debate on historiographical and methodological issues. An indispensable tool for urban historians worldwide, the journal's annual bibliography features on average over 1000 publications culled from monographs, edited collections and periodicals.
For the most recent issue, see

The Editors invite original manuscript article submissions on all aspects and periods of urban history. Articles of an international or transnational character are particularly welcome. Articles involving a methodological or historiographical nature are also encouraged.
