Publisher: Progressive Historians: History For Our Future

About ProgressiveHistorians ProgressiveHistorians is a group blog dedicated to the intersection of history and progressive politics. Our writers run the gamut from noted professors to accomplished amateurs, but all share a commitment to making history accessible and relevant for today. We believe history is a living tradition, a dynamic mix of storytelling, knowledge, and interpretation that we hope to channel to help explain the present and suggest courses of action for the future. With these goals in mind, ProgressiveHistorians seeks to bring together a small but potent group of intellectuals to discuss issues and ideas within an online forum. Readers from all backgrounds and of all political stripes are welcome to join in the discussion in comments. From September 2006 to October 2007, ProgressiveHistorians operated as a community blog where readers had the opportunity to post their own original content; it was the first community-style blog operating in any academic field. It was highly successful, hosting at its peak over two thousand user diaries and achieving up to 450 hits per day. The community interface eventually became too time-consuming to maintain and was eliminated in October 2007. Complete archives prior to October 2007 may be found here.
