Histoire & mesure (H&M)

Born in 1986, at a time when quantitative history had ceased to be "à la mode", Histoire & Mesure represented a forum for the exchange of experience, particularly around new working methods induced by computer technology, between researchers working on various types of historical material, heirs to a wide range of traditional methods. Beyond disciplinary and chronological divisions, the articles present methods, both old and new, used not for their own sake, but to enrich historical research. These methods do not necessarily involve a high degree of sophistication; in the issues already published, simple counts play an important role, alongside factorial and lexicometric analyses, time series studies and archaeometric techniques. While innovative methodological proposals are regularly presented in our columns, they are always presented in an accessible way, so as to enable historians to make them their own. It is through a joint reflection on sources and methods, their contributions and limitations, as well as on the history of our statistical tools, that the magazine aims to contribute to the advancement of historical research. Histoire & Mesure publishes articles in French or English, covering all historical periods and geographical areas. It welcomes maps, tables, graphs and methodological appendices. Histoire & Mesure explores the history of statistics and measurement practices, from antique surveying or medieval gauging to contemporary scientific instruments. It also publishes papers using statistical, formal or quantitative methods as a tool for historical research, whatever the period and theme studied. Far from being limited to economic or demographic history, the journal has always been open to cultural and political history, archeology, etc. Refusing to isolate methodology from history, it considers that a reflection on the construction of quantitative tools helps to make a better use of them.
