Nursing History Review, an annual peer-reviewed publication of the American Association for the History of Nursing, is a showcase for the most significant current research on nursing history. Regular sections include scholarly articles, keynote lectures, and methodological papers as well as reviews of the latest media and publications on nursing and healthcare history. Historians, researchers, and individuals fascinated with the rich field of nursing will find Nursing History Review an important resource.

American Association for the History of Nursing
History provides current nurses with the same intellectual and political tools that determined nursing pioneers applied to shape nursing values and beliefs to the social context of their times. Nursing history is not an ornament to be displayed on anniversary days, nor does it consist of only happy stories to be recalled and retold on special occasions. Nursing history is a vivid testimony, meant to incite, instruct, and inspire today's nurses as they bravely tread the winding path of a reinvented health care system.

To find out about these nursing pioneers and their efforts, join the American Association for the History of Nursing. Individuals are encouraged to become members of the association in order to receive the journal as a benefit of membership.

Nursing History Review welcomes original research manuscripts in broad areas related to the history of nursing, health care, health policy, and society. The Review defines original research as research based on primary sources. Authors should set their argument within the context of the published literature about their topic—at times using the secondary literature as historical context, and at times reinterpreting past arguments.

Submissions should be uploaded to the journal’s online submission and peer review system. Full author guidelines can be downloaded from the submission site.
