A Look Back: Earlier Journals
Before Kansas History began in 1978, the Kansas Historical Society published other journals. These earlier magazines also shared important historical research.
Kansas Historical Collections
The very first journal was called Kansas Historical Collections. It was published from 1875 to 1928. This magazine collected many important historical documents and stories from Kansas.
The Kansas Historical Quarterly
After Kansas Historical Collections, the society started The Kansas Historical Quarterly. This journal was published from 1931 to 1977. It continued the tradition of sharing new historical research.
Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains proudly carries on the work of these earlier publications. It continues to explore and share the rich history of Kansas and the surrounding region.
