Featured Series | Studies in German History

The German Historical Institute Washington (GHI) and Berghahn Books are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement to transition the Studies in German History series to Open Access.

Launched in 2004, the series serves as a transatlantic forum on German and Central European history and currently has 28 volumes covering topics from the 19th-century educational system to 20th-century globalization and from violence in the Weimar Republic to coping with the Nazi past. To date, two of those volumes are Open Access, so this agreement will greatly increase the availability and accessibility of this important research. The first new Open Access series volume published April 2023.
