Ohio History Online Journal
and 100-Year Print Index
Ohio History, the scholarly journal of the Ohio Historical Society, will become an online journal starting with the Summer-Autumn 2002 issue. Ohio History online will be available to all Internet users free of charge.
The decision to place the journal online was prompted by cuts in project funding. Online publishing eliminates print production costs as well as postage expenses. Ohio History online will continue to publish the scholarly works enjoyed by readers of the print journal, including peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, and notices of events for history professionals of Ohio and the Midwest. Online users will also have the option to download and print articles in PDF format. The benefits of a free, online journal include the capability to increase published material without an increase in cost and the potential to widen Ohio History’s audience.
We look forward to this new phase in the journal’s evolution and invite your comments. You may contact the editorial office at ohiohistory@ohiohistory.org, or write to Ohio History at the Ohio Historical Center address shown below.
