Aims & Scope

The Journal of Belgian History (JBH) is theleading illustrated scholarly journal for Belgian contemporary history,published by theState Archives (CegeSoma)with the financial support of the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) and the Universitaire Stichting (US). The journal is a fusion of the predecessor of the current JBH(Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Nieuwste Geschiedenis / Revue Belge d’Histoire Contemporaine, 1969-2011, published by the Jan Dhondt Foundation of Ghent University) and theBijdragen tot de Eigentijdse Geschiedenis / Cahiers d’Histoire du temps Présents (BEG/CHP, 1996-2011, published by CegeSoma). The BTNG hasfull Open Accessstatus. All our articles and other contributions are available for free consultation shortly after publication on our website, where the entire digital archive since 1969 is accessible. Copyright rests with the publisher and no financial contribution is required of authors for publication. The old JBH was a general journal for contemporary history, while BEG/CHP focussed on the history of the period around World War II. In 2011 CegeSoma and the Jan Dhondt Foundation reached an agreement on the fusion of both journals, andin 2012the first renewed issue of the JBH appeared, published by CegeSoma (since 2016 the State Archives in Belgium). This fusion was accompanied by a new layout, a new website and the addition of (colour) illustrations. The first new editors-in-chief in 2012 were Chantal Kesteloot (CegeSoma), Bruno De Wever (UGent) and Nico Wouters (CegeSoma). Since 2016,the chief editorsare Catherine Lanneau (ULg) and Nico Wouters (CegeSoma-Rijksarchief).
