Hiperboreea (ISSN 2284–5666) is an online academic journal that publishes studies and articles in English, French or Italian from the field of History as well as book reviews or evaluations of scholarly conferences. Without limiting the scope of the research to a particular geographical area or historical period, the journal covers a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches and analyses on topics related to Cultural History, Political History, Military History, Social History, Economic History and Archeology.

Since its first publication in 2012, Hiperboreea has a monthly periodicity (January 2012-March 2013) and quarterly publication (until the end of 2013). Starting 2014, the journal appears biannually.

Our activity and aims:

– A wide variety of scholarly and original studies on historical, social and cultural change in all parts of the world.

– Two issues per year, each containing around ten major articles and review essays.

– Challenging work by young historians such as PhD students as well as seminal articles by internationally regarded scholars.

– A range of articles that appeal to specialists and communicate the results of the most recent historical research in a readable and lively form.

– Hiperboreea can be considered also a forum for scientific debate, encouraging productive controversy.

– Our activity consists in examination of particular problems and periods as well as wider issues of historical change.
