Introducing the new History Today
History Today takes inspiration from the past and next month we will reveal our new redesign, inspired in part by the original volumes of our publication, given a fresh twist, with layouts and typefaces which, we believe, will enhance our readers’ experience.
In the debut edition of History Today, edited by Peter Quennell and Alan Hodge and published in January 1951, the great historian G.M. Trevelyan, then master of Trinity College, Cambridge, wrote of a public ‘eager for serious, scholarly exposition of the past, provided it is so written that he who is not a professional historian may read it’.
