Journal of Family History (JFH)

The Journal of Family History is a long‑established scholarly journal dedicated to advancing rigorous research on the historical and social dimensions of family life. Founded in the mid‑1970s and published quarterly by SAGE Publications, it has become a premier forum for international scholarship exploring the complex interplay between families, kinship systems, demographic processes, and cultural change. The journal’s interdisciplinary reach encompasses history, anthropology, sociology, gender and cultural studies, demography, political science, and related disciplines. Researchers are encouraged to illuminate how family structures and practices have evolved across time and varied across social contexts, drawing on innovative methodologies and comparative frameworks. The journal also welcomes work that foregrounds intersections of family life with topics such as gender, sexuality, race, class, law, and policy. In addition to original research articles, the journal publishes book reviews, thematic debates, and research notes that keep readers engaged with the latest developments in the field. Its peer‑reviewed content contributes both to scholarly discourse and to broader conversations about social change, identity, and lived experience in familial settings. The Journal of Family History remains essential reading for historians and social scientists seeking to understand the past and present dynamics of family and kinship in a global context.
