There is little doubt in our minds that the study of history is alive and well, inside and outside of academe. Without a doubt, History Today is one of the best and oldest magazines for history lovers.
Don’t worry, we’re not getting ANY kick-back for this “public service announcement.” It’s just that we like the folks there and know that they work very hard to provide fascinating stories about the marvels of the past.
If you haven’t already subscribed to their free newsletter, be sure to! The History Today Blog is also a delight to behold. One of our favorite posts links to the magazine’s Top Ten articles of all time. Click on it, and you’ll see why! And for you Twitter’s out there, you can chat with the editor of the magazine, Paul Lay–@historytoday. Tell him that @history_geek sent you!
By the way, Kathryn Hadley (History Today’s online editor) will be joining us tomorrow with a great post. Looking forward to it!

Not impressed at all, as the top ten articles are only snippets. One must buy a subscription or ‘pay per view’ to view. I enjoy your blog immensely–lots of great and interesting information! But I feel that you should have explained the circumstances of the link provided in the ‘promo.’
Hi Leslie. Thanks for calling this out. We truly did not catch it. (I subscribe and have access to the site–so didn’t even think about it being a problem!)
There is no “kick back” of any sort here–promise. Our site tries simply to feature other good work by folks who love history as much as we do (through guest posts, book giveaways, and other links).
Your nice words about the site made our day! Count on us to keep bringing great information–and staying committed to great dialogue!
All best, Holly
I think there are a few selected articles that have full access for registered users on History Today on-line version. However, I still prefer printed version of the magazine and occasionally buy it in the stores, which makes for a comfortable reading outdoors.
