History Workshop Journal
Encyclopedia
The History Workshop is a movement founded by Raphael Samuel
. Its main role was to promote the historiographical tradition known variously as History from below
, the history of everyday life, or simply the people's history. Samuel defined the movement as being "the belief that history is or ought to be a collaborative enterprise, one in which the researcher, the archivist, the curator and the teacher, the 'do-it-yourself' enthusiast and the local historian, the family history societies and the individual archaeologist, should all be regarded as equally engaged." It was founded at Ruskin College, Oxford (the trade union college for mature students) in 1966.
'Since its launch in 1976, History Workshop Journal has become one of the world's leading historical journals. Through incisive scholarship and imaginative presentation it brings past and present into dialogue, engaging readers inside and outside universities. HWJ publishes a wide variety of essays, reports and reviews, ranging from literary to economic subjects, local history to geopolitical analyses. Clarity of style, challenging argument and creative use of visual sources are especially valued.'
