Journal of Texas History
About This Journal
The Journal for Texas History is published by the Alliance for Texas History (www.atxh.org). The Alliance was formed in March 2024, organized by scholars, researchers, public historians, and others committed to history done right.
History is being challenged, hidden, and even erased like never before in our lifetimes. The mission statement of the Alliance for Texas History places us firmly in support of the full and complete telling of history based on diligent research that is gathered with integrity and communicated without fear or favor.
Texas’s population has doubled over the past forty years, yet the number of scholarly journals devoted to the state’s history has remained roughly the same. In the meantime, Texas has grown more diverse, and whole new fields and methodologies have emerged in the historical profession.
We believe, then, that there is room—and a real need—for another journal to tell the many stories of Texas and Texans. We are proud to join with our colleagues at other historical organizations in telling those stories.
