The Undergraduate History Journal at Illinois was established in 2021 to give Illinois undergraduate students the chance to publish original historical research. Paper submissions from all disciplines are encouraged, with the stipulation that they must have a historical focus and line of inquiry. The journal also accepts honors theses and coursework, provided the materials are original work and not published elsewhere. Papers go through a peer review process where undergraduate students with experience with the subject matter have the opportunity to review and edit the original work. This journal aims to foster academic growth and a collaborative intellectual community at the University of Illinois, and support undergraduate students in their original work and research. The anticipated audience for this journal is comprised of undergraduate students at any institution, faculty, alumni, and prospective students.
