This journal is on the list of reference journals in History drawn up by the AERES.
Published by Presses Universitaires du Midi and originally released in print format, all issues are currently available online on the Cairn platform.
The Nordic Historical Review is primarily defined by the geographical area it studies: the Nordic and Baltic countries, but also more generally the North, both geographically and symbolically. Focusing on the long-term evolution of Scandinavian, Finnish and Baltic societies, it covers all historical periods, the ‘classic’ subjects of Nordic historiography as well as topics covered by other humanities and social sciences, when the interest and quality of the proposals warrant it. The journal is published twice a year and is bilingual (French/English). For 20 years, its editorial board has been keen to promote publications by Scandinavian, Baltic and Finnish colleagues, as well as German, Russian and British colleagues, while also promoting comparative and transdisciplinary approaches.
Its aim is to explore the little-known history of Scandinavia and the Baltic countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden) from the earliest times to the present day, and to encourage intellectual cooperation between French and Nordic universities. Many Scandinavian and Baltic academics have already contributed to the Nordic Historical Review, notably from Oslo, Malmö, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Uppsala, Riga, Vilnius, Klaipėda, Helsinki, Tampere, Reykjavík, Aarhus and Odense.
The journal covers the history of Scandinavia and the Baltic states up till the present time. Each volume includes a special thematic dossier, as well as a varia section, documents, debates, general news, and book reviews.
