Front Cover: Covers from The History Teacher, Volume 48-present.

Back Cover: Back covers from The History Teacher, Volume 48-present.

This array of recent covers from The History Teacher includes Volume 48 (2014-2015) through Volume 51 (2017-2018). The History Teacher began printing full-color covers with Volume 48, and also decided at that time that the journal's back covers would be dedicated to featuring historical documents as opposed to paid advertisements.

Noticeably unusual in this depiction is the back[wards] cover, a playful reminder that historical documents, and historical presentations, should be investigated from multiple sides, multiple angles, and multiple perspectives.

These and additional covers are available at https://www.thehistoryteacher.org, with information about each issue and each cover, as well as links to downloadable images and copyright-free libraries where available.

As we look back on 50 years of publishing, and look forward to 50 more, we must acknowledge the contributing authors to The History Teacher and the supporting members of the Society for History Education who have made this journal possible. Thank you!
