British Catholic History is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Catholic Record Society. The journal covers the study of Catholic history in the British Isles.[1][2] The editor-in-chief is Anne Dillon (Lucy Cavendish College).
History
The journal was established in 1951 under the title Biographical Studies of English Catholics,[3] under the editorship of A. F. Allison (British Library) and D. M. Rogers (Bodleian Library). With volume 5 (1959) the title was changed to Recusant History: A Journal of Research in Post-Reformation Catholic History in the British Isles, a reference to recusancy as a defining characteristic of early modern English Catholicism and a move away from the more strictly biographical focus of the early issues. It obtained its current title in 2015 with the switch to Cambridge University Press.
