Published since 1961, Melbourne Historical Journal (MHJ, ISSN: 0076-6232) is a refereed journal for the publication of Australian, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Pacific graduate work in history. It is open to new approaches and aims to present original graduate and ECR work to a wide and responsive readership.

The MHJ usually publishes one issue per year and the occasional MHJ Research Series. The journal features themed articles by prominent, established historians, and presents new and exciting research by talented, emerging historians.

Based in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, the MHJ is published by a volunteer collective of graduate and early career scholars. History graduates at The University of Melbourne have worked together as editors of Melbourne Historical Journal for over fifty years.

The members of the 2024-2025 editorial collective are Nicole Davis, Zoe Cosker, Sasha Riabichenko, Carl Sciglitano, and Shouyue Zhang. [See past collectives]
