    Default Recommendations for a history mag?

    Any recommendations for a monthly history mag something along the lines of National Geographic, not specific to any time period or culture, which could throw up an interesting article now and then. One qualification nothing to do with dressing up in SS uniforms or strange hidden agendas.

    Thanks in advance.

    None of the good Journals are monthy.

    I reccommend Journal of Roman Antiquity, but it's quarterly.

    Thanks for that I will look it up,I was thinking more along the lines of general history imagining perhaps in one issue an article on the American Civil War another article on Louis VIII whatever, you come across something or someone of interest and could pursue it elsewhere.

    Anyhow thats my master plan.

    I suppose I could,But since we would be entering a very competitive market, lets say one potato per 200 words and perhaps an extra cabbage if your article is the cover.

    While not historical per se, Archaeology Maganize is a bimonthly publication that occasionally has articles that you may be interested in. It's not all classical archaeology, though-- it covers the whole world and a long timeframe, so there will be, say, an article on Polynesian expansion next to an article on Civil War battlefields. I'd recommend at least checking it out if you're not familiar with it. archaeology.org is their site.

    Well, it's not yet reached the publishing stage quite yet, but once it does I suspect it will be quite good indeed:

    It will only be published bi-monthly, but otherwise it seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Also, if you are truly interested, the publisher is still looking for ideas and contributors before finalizing the format

    thanks,
    Iskandr
