Southwestern Historical Quarterly
The Southwestern Historical Quarterly brings the latest and most authoritative research in Texas history to a wide audience of history lovers and scholars. Since the Quarterly can only publish approximately sixteen articles each year, it is our editorial policy to publish original research on Texas history topics that have the greatest historical significance and the broadest reader interest.
The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, continuously published since 1897, is the premier source of scholarly information about the history of Texas and the Southwest. The first 100 volumes of the Quarterly, more than 57,000 pages, are now available Online with searchable Tables of Contents.
Printed copies of the Quarterly are a benefit of membership in the Texas State Historical Association and are widely available in public and private libraries. Back issues can be read and searched on the Portal to Texas History, which are listed in the SHQonline section with the Table of Contents of each volume.
