The journal will be an open access publication available through the University of Texas at Arlington Libraries and by print-on-demand.JTxHwill publish two issues a year, beginning in summer 2025.
The person in this role will identify museum exhibits, historical markers, podcasts, documentaries, digital history resources, and other projects that seek to bring serious historical scholarship and knowledge of Texas history to the public. The public history editor will develop standards for reviews of these projects, identify reviewers with appropriate expertise, assign and edit the reviews; and participate in theJournal’s editorial board meetings (held at least biannually).
The public history editor will be supported by Journal of Texas Historyco-editors, Benjamin Johnson and Rebecca Sharpless, and reviews editor, Felipe Hinojosa.
