E-journal of international history
'E-journal of International History' (eJIH) was a free full-text ejournal, published by The Institute of Historical Research at the Centre for Contemporary British History. eJIH was an RAE-approved publication. At January 2009 there are 9 issues online, and the journal appears to have run between 2000 and 2005. Each issue contains a single but substantial 10,000-word academic paper, with the focus on British history in international context. Example titles are: 'From Tribal Rebellions to Revolution: British Counter-Insurgency Operations in Southwest Arabia 1955-67'; 'The Romance of Decline: The Historiography of Appeasement and British National Identity'; and 'The Other Other Missiles of October: The Thor IRBMs and the Cuban Missile Crisis', among others.
