Under the stewardship of the California Historical Society for nearly one hundred years, California History is the premier journal of historical writing on California. Beginning in 2014, this tradition continued under the auspices of University of California Press and the editorial direction of Josh Sides, Whitsett Chair of California History and Director of the Center for Southern California Studies at California State University, Northridge. Showcasing exceptional scholarship, engaging writing, and innovative research, California History is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of California and the West, as well as California residents curious to understand the imprint of the state’s rich past.
