| I like reading essays that are geared towards end of schoolers and college students. The journals on JSTOR are only accessible to members (I can use my colleges registration to use them) but they are written by historians for other historians, and are often extremely dull reads (I'm forced to read them for essays) What I like are essays which tackle a theme - ie, Franco-German relations since the Franco Prussian War to WWII which deals both with the bare events as well as the concepts behind the events in question. My question is whether there is an online database in the same mould as JSTOR but accessible to all, using the kind of essays I just described? |

Hi, I have a few links to free reviews on line. Unfortunately many of them are about economic history (which many find boring), are written by/for academics and are often in foreign languages but anyway here it is: http://www.anistor.gr/english/index.htm">  Anistoriton (a Greek review in English, it looks exactly like what you are looking for, a few scholar-ish articles but most of the essays are dealing with large issues like "was operation Barbarossa reasonable for 1941 Germany?")http://www.altreitalie.org/"> altreitalie (mostly in Italian but a bit in English and French, about the Italian migrations and diasporas around the world, very interesting website too)http://www.dssg.unifi.it/SDF/annalidistoriadifirenze.htm"> http://www.dssg.unifi.it/SDF/annalidistoriadifirenze.htm - annali di storia di Firenze (in Italian, a wonderful resource for the history of the great city of Florence, very good website too)http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/src/inicio/IndArtRev.jsp?iCveNumRev=6385&iCveEntRev=355&institucion="> annuario de la historia de Iglesia (in Spanish, about the history of the Church in Spain under varied approaches -mystical, sociological, political, etc.) http://afehc-historia-centroamericana.org/index.php?action=bul_aff - Boletín de la AFEHC (in Spanish, about the modern history of Central America) http://cma.gbv.de/z/pages - Concilium medii aevi (in German and quite a bit of English, about the medieval history of the German-speaking countries, good scholarly articles) http://hrcak.srce.hr/ccp - Croatica Christiana Periodica (in English and Croatian, about the religious history of Croatia)http://hrcak.srce.hr/dubrovnik-annals - Dubrovnik annals (in English with a bit of Croatian and Italian, about… well… the history of Dubrovnik) http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Portuguese_Brazilian_Studies/ejph/"> e-JHP (in English, about Portuguese history, quite scholarly but a few essays of general interest) http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/celtic/ekeltoi/ - http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/celtic/ekeltoi/ - e-Keltoy (in English, open-ended journal about whatever is Celtic, quite a few articles of general interest)http://e-spania.revues.org/"> e-Spania (in French and a bit in Spanish, about medieval Spain) http://www2.let.uu.nl/Solis/anpt/ejos/EJOS-VII.0.htm - Electronic Journal of Oriental Studies (in Turkish, German, English, etc., about the cultural history of the Middle East) http://www1.tau.ac.il/eial/ - Estodios Interdisciplinarios de America Latina y el Caride (in Spanish, about the history and sociology of Latin America and the Caribbeans) http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/eras/editions.htm - Eras (in English, a scholary journal published by an Australian university about world history with an emphasis on the Pacific area)http://www.revistafenix.pro.br/artigosa.php"> Fênix (in Portuguese, about world history and cultural studies) http://www.fera-journal.eu/ - FeRA (in German, about ancient history with a few articles of general interest) http://gfa.gbv.de/z/pages - GFA (in German, one of the web's best sources about ancient history) http://quod.lib.umich.edu/g/gefame/ - GEFAME (in English, about African studies) http://www.stonybrook.edu/globality/ - Globality Studies Journal (in English, about the world as a whole, pretentious post modern gibberish if you ask me) http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/toc.html - Heroic Age (in English, about early Northwestern medieval Europe)http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_serial&pid=0717-7194&lng=en&nrm=iso"> Historia (in Spanish, about Chilean history)http://hc.rediris.es/numeros.htm"> Historia Constitucional (in Spanish with a bit of Portuguese and English, about the history of the world's constitutions)http://historiacritica.uniandes.edu.co/"> Historia Critica (in Spanish, mostly about South American history)http://seneca.uab.es/hmic/"> HMiC (in Catalan and a bit of English, about early modern and contemporary history)http://www.ijnhonline.org/"> International Journal of Naval History (in English, about naval history and centered on military stuff, very opened of the general public)http://www.irlandeses.org/"> Irlandeses (in English, about the Irish migrants to Southern America)http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/jaas/periodicals/JJAS/"> Japanese Journal of American Studies (in English, about the US history and sociology with quite a few articles of general interest)http://journals.ucfv.ca/jhb/index.html"> Journal of Historical Biographies (in English, about people from wherever)http://www.ucl.ac.uk/histmed/publications/medical-history/index.html"> Medical History (in English, mostly dealing with British topics)http://www.mediterranearicerchestoriche.it/"> Mediterranea.
