Since 2012, Aeon has established itself as a unique digital magazine, publishing some of the most profound and provocative thinking on the web. It has three channels, and all are completely free to enjoy: Essays – Ideas – Video

The Royal Historical Society established Historical Transactions, an open-access online blog in 2018, as part of the commemoration of the Royal Historical Society’s 150th Anniversary. They encourage submissions for engaging, accessible posts (of c.500-1000 words) that reflect the full diversity of methodological approaches, personal perspectives, time periods and geographical focus within current historical research, teaching and professional practice.
Journal of the History of Ideas Blog
The blog of the Journal of the History of Ideas (JHIBlog) aims to bring together today’s varied, burgeoning conversations in the field of intellectual history, broadly conceived. They understand intellectual history as an ecumenical and expansive field, encompassing a diversity of methods, regional emphases, and periods, and bordering upon many other subfields and disciplines. They supplement the work of the Journal of the History of Ideas by commenting speedily on developments in the field, highlighting the perspectives of graduate students and early-career researchers, and presenting research in a different format from that afforded by print journals. Typically, they publish new content on Monday and Wednesday, with a link roundup at the weekend.

The Appendix published eight quarterly issues in two volumes, and between journal articles and blog posts published work from over 150 contributors.
The Appendix was a quarterly journal of experimental and narrative history, soliciting articles from historians, writers, and artists committed to good storytelling, with an eye for the strange and a suspicion of both jargon and traditional narratives.
