The History of The History Teacher
Collaboration, Cooperation, Innovation, and Excellence
In 1940, the Teachers' History Club at the University of Notre Dame created the "Quarterly Bulletin of the Teachers' History Club" to improve the learning experience in the history classroom.
By 1967, the expanding collaboration of educators reorganized as the History Teachers' Association and decided to transform the bulletin into an academic journal—The History Teacher.
In 1972, the association transferred guardianship of The History Teacher to coordinating faculty members at the Department of History at California State University, Long Beach. In the interest of independence and self-determination,
the associated teachers incorporated as a non-profit organization.
The Society for History Education, Inc. (SHE) was recognized by the State of California in 1972.
In 1998, The History Teacher began publishing the winning student essays from the annual National History Day contest,
in recognition of the impact that history teachers have in shaping the next generation of young historians.
In 2012, the Society became a leader among publishers, offering full-text, open access to recent archives of The History Teacher at its website, thehistoryteacher.org.
In 2014, The History Teacher launched full-color covers on both front and back covers, showcasing high-quality historical images specifically designed to spark classroom discussion.
For 2025, The History Teacher breezes into Volume 58, and we ask you to join us in celebrating history teachers throughout the world and throughout time.
SHE is an Affiliate of the American Historical Association (AHA).
