American Catholic Studies (ACS)

In 1887 the American Catholic Historical Society began publication of a quarterly journal, the Records. In 1913, the Records was merged with American Catholic Historical Researches, a publication founded by Dr. A. A. Lambing of Scottsdale, Pennsylvania and issued by Martin I.J. Griffin. Since 1999, the journal, renamed American Catholic Studies has been published out of Villanova University. American Catholic Studies is the oldest, continuously published Catholic scholarly journal in the United States. American Catholic Studies is a double-blind refereed journal that publishes high quality studies and book reviews for academics, opinion leaders, and informed general readers in the fields of U.S. Roman Catholic history, sociology, theology, architecture, art, cinema, music, popular movements, and related areas. The Society’s quarterly journal, American Catholic Studies, is the oldest, continuously published Catholic scholarly journal in the United States. Its origins can be traced back to 1887, when the Society began publication of a quarterly journal, The Records of the American Catholic Historical Society. In 1913, Records merged with the American Catholic Historical Researches, which had been founded in 1884. Though still publishing under the name Records, the merger signaled the journal’s dual emphasis on publishing historical records and fostering scholarly research. In 1999, the journal underwent a change in name and format to become American Catholic Studies, a shift that reflected its commitment to fostering a broader and more inclusive perspective on the American Catholic experience. The journal publishes articles and reviews that contribute to our understanding of Catholicism in the American context as it intersects with history, literature, culture, politics, art and architecture, theology, and popular movements.
