Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Nieuwste Geschiedenis/ Revue Belge de Histoire Contemporaine

Aims & Scope

The new Journal of Belgian History (JBH), is the most important scholarly journal for Belgian contemporary history.

It is the result of a merger between the old BTNG/RBHC (1969-2011) and the Bijdragen tot de Eigentijdse Geschiedenis/Cahiers d'Histoire du Temps présent (1996-2011).

The journal publishes articles in English, French and Dutch.

The new JBH is published by the Centre for Historical Research and Documentation on War and Contemporary Society (CEGESOMA).
