The Georgetown Journal of History is an academic publication dedicated to showcasing the historical research of undergraduates throughout the country. The Journal is spearheaded by an Editorial Board of Georgetown University undergraduate and graduate students, and each editor is responsible for reading submissions, editing, and working with authors to create a final product of the highest, publishable quality. Every article published by the Journal undergoes a months-long process of editing and rewriting, all in the aim of presenting the best undergraduate historical scholarship available today.
