NACBS Publications

The North American Conference of British Studies is pleased to announce the first editors of the Journal of British Studies incorporating Albion.

The Journal of British Studies (published by University of Chicago Press for the North American Conference on British Studies) and Albion (the member publication of the NACBS) have merged. The journal will continue to be called the Journal of British Studies and will continue to be published by the University of Chicago Press for the NACBS. It will combine the scope and content of both journals, and will have substantially more pages than before. The new JBS will remain a quarterly publication and will be sent to all members of the NACBS.
Current Albion reviewers are the core of the list of reviewers being compiled by the new editors. They also welcome other offers to review.
Members who have been receiving Albion only will be offered the new journal for one year at an introductory rate of $38.
Members who have been receiving both Albion and JBS will receive the new journal for less than the cost of their previous subscriptions. For more information, see the JBS website.

All members of the organization owe a debt of gratitude to the search committee chaired by Linda Levy Peck and made up of Brian Levack, George Robb, Mary Robertson, and Angela Woollacott. Their hard work made this outcome possible. And we owe an equal debt to our current editors Michael Moore, Jim Epstein and Nick Rogers. They have set a high standard for the new group to maintain.

The Journal of British Studies was founded by the NACBS in 1961 and published quarterly by the University of Chicago Press. Albion was founded in 1969 and published quarterly at Appalachian State University. From 2005, the new publication will be known as Journal of British Studies, incorporating Albion. Information about subscriptions may be found in the section devoted to Membership.

All issues of Journal of British Studies are available electronically. Searchable access to back issues of the Journal of British Studies, vols. 1-41 (1961-April 2002), is available at JSTOR through site licenses at participating institutions. Current issues of the electronic edition of the Journal of British Studies are published on-line by the University of Chicago Press (from July 2002 to present) and are available to institutional and individual subscribers.

The NACBS newsletter, the British Studies Intelligencer, was published for many years. There is an electronic archive of past issues of the BSI from 1998-2002, please contact the NACBS webmaster for details.

Twentieth Century British History (TCBH) offers a special NACBS Member Rate. TCBH covers the variety of British history in the twentieth century in all its aspects, linking the many different and specialized branches of historical scholarship with work in political science and related disciplines. The journal seeks to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, in order to foster the study of patterns of change and continuity across the twentieth century. The editors are committed to publishing work that examines the British experience within a comparative context, whether European or Anglo-American.

The NACBS also has a close and formal relationship with H-Albion, the H-Net Discussion Network for British and Irish History. H-Albion acts as a principal outlet for e-mail dissemination of NACBS information such as call for papers for conferences and conference programs. Information regarding subscriptions to the H-Albion discussion network is available on the H-Net website.

The NACBS Forum on The Making of the Working British Historian is also available.

To view or print PDF (Public Document Format) files in JSTOR, the JBS electronic edition, the NACBS Forum, or the Annual Conference information, you will need a browser plug-in such as Adobe Acrobat Reader®, which may be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.

In the past, the Conference also has sponsored a bibliographical series, a monograph series, and several volumes of biography.
