Western Historical Quarterly
announces its affiliation with
JSTOR’s Current Scholarship Program

The Current Scholarship Program is a new effort, initiated by JSTOR and University of California Press, to make current and historical scholarly content available on a single, integrated online platform, to provide a single point for librarians and end users around the world to access this content, and to ensure this content's long-term preservation.

Beginning with the 2011 subscription year, the Western Historical Quarterly will be part of an initial offering of 176 titles from 19 publishers with both current and historical content from their published journals available on a redesigned JSTOR platform.

Institutional subscribers will now have the option of receiving the WHQ as paper only, paper and electronic, or as an electronic only subscription. Furthermore, they can obtain the WHQ bundled in current content collections of journals that mirror JSTOR’s archive collections.

Individual members of the Western History Association will have access to current WHQ content through the JSTOR CSP platform. Stay tuned for more information.

USU History Department and WHQ Highlighted by AHA's HistoriansTV

The American Historical Association has recognized USU's Department of History and the Western Historical Quarterly for their innovative approach to teaching and research publication. In its second year partnering with HistoriansTV to produce 30 minute news programs for broadcast during its 2010 annual convention, the AHA selected USU for one of its five minute "thought leadership films." These feature segments highlight programs, policies, technologies, best practices, and institutions from around the US and Canada that advance the goal of historical research, scholarship, and education. USU's Department of History was recognized for its brilliant pedagogy and innovative assessment models, as well as for its leadership in the field of western American history. The AHA singled out its 40-plus year sponsorship of the Western Historical Quarterly which creates a unique and vibrant graduate program with special opportunities for students and faculty.
