The Kansas Historical Quarterly was a special magazine about history. It was published from 1931 to 1977. The Kansas Historical Society, located in Topeka, Kansas, created this journal. Its main goal was to share interesting stories and facts about the history of Kansas.
What Was The Kansas Historical Quarterly?
The Kansas Historical Quarterly was an academic journal. This means it was a serious publication where historians could share their research. It came out four times a year, which is why it was called a "quarterly." Each issue was filled with articles, studies, and information about Kansas's past.
Who Was Involved?
The Kansas Historical Society was in charge of publishing the journal. This society works to collect, preserve, and share the history of Kansas. The journal had several important people called Editors-in-chief. They were responsible for choosing the articles and making sure everything was accurate. Some of these editors included James C. Malin, Kirke Mechem, and Nyle H. Miller.
A Look at Its History
The Kansas Historical Quarterly was not the first history magazine from the Kansas Historical Society. It took the place of an earlier publication called Kansas Historical Collections, which ran from 1875 to 1928. After the Quarterly stopped being published in 1977, a new journal took its place. This new magazine, started in 1978, is called Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains. It continues to share the history of Kansas today.
