About Historia

Historia was founded in 2020 with the aim to be an outlet for all budding historians, writers and journalists. The editor changes each year, often with a small dedicated team of assistants, illustrators and copy-editors.

In 2023-24, one magazine will be released a term. Keep an eye out on Historia's instagram for the release of each term's theme and deadline. We welcome anyone to write for us, you only have to have a passion for history!

New editions will appear on this website a while after their printed release. Some highlights from each edition are also posted on the "Featured Articles" section. Paper copies of the magazine are periodically available for purchase on the SU website.
