Revista de Historia Nacional
Revista de Historia Nacional is a scholarly periodical devoted to historical scholarship with emphasis on national and regional studies. Founded in the mid-20th century, it has published research spanning colonial administration, independence movements, diplomatic relations, social transformations and cultural production. The journal has featured contributions from historians tied to universities, archives, museums and research institutes across Latin America and Europe.
The journal was established by scholars associated with Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Universidad de Sevilla to consolidate research on topics including the Spanish Empire, Viceroyalty of Peru, Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, Spanish American wars of independence, and the Congress of Tucumán. Early editors convened with figures from the Biblioteca Nacional de Chile, Archivo General de Indias, Archivo General de la Nación (Argentina), Archivo General de la Nación (México), and the Archivo Histórico Nacional (España) to solicit primary-source studies. Founding members included historians influenced by methodologies from Fernand Braudel, Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, and archival practices associated with the Real Academia de la Historia. The journal’s early volumes engaged debates contemporaneous with events like the Chaco War, the Mexican Revolution, and the postwar dispositions following the Yalta Conference.
The journal’s stated remit covers political history, diplomatic history, social history, cultural history, intellectual history, and legal history as they pertain to national narratives. Typical thematic issues have addressed subjects such as the Treaty of Tordesillas, the War of the Pacific, the Triple Alliance War, the Spanish Constitution of 1812, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and biographies of figures linked to the Independence of Peru, the Independence of Chile, and the Independence of Argentina. Contributors often analyze correspondence from archives including documents related to Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, Bernardo O'Higgins, José Martí, Antonio José de Sucre, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Agustín de Iturbide, and Dom Pedro I. Comparative studies have linked national transformations to international phenomena such as the Industrial Revolution, Haitian Revolution, French Revolution, and diplomatic exchanges recorded during the Congress of Vienna.
Published on a semiannual schedule, the journal circulates through academic presses and university libraries like those of Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Columbia University, Yale University, and national libraries including the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Library of Congress. Distribution networks encompass bookstores in cities such as Santiago, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Madrid, Lima, and Bogotá. The journal has been indexed by bibliographic services associated with the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Modern Language Association, and cataloged in databases used by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT), Fondo de Cultura Económica collections, and university repositories at institutions like Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
The editorial board has included scholars affiliated with institutions like the Instituto de Historia (CONICET), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, University of São Paulo, University of Buenos Aires, Universidad de Granada, University of California, Berkeley, and research centers such as the Institute of Historical Research (London), the Smithsonian Institution, and the Centro de Estudios Martianos. Peer review follows double-blind protocols used by journals published by the American Historical Association, the Royal Historical Society, and the International Committee of Historical Sciences. Editorial policies reference standards set by archival institutions like the Archivo General de la Nación (Perú) and ethical guidelines promoted by organizations such as the Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales.
Noteworthy contributions have analyzed archival collections tied to personalities and events including Pedro de Valdivia, Diego de Almagro, Antonio López de Santa Anna, Manuel Belgrano, Juan Manuel de Rosas, Porfirio Díaz, Rafael Carrera, José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, Bernardino Rivadavia, Mariano Moreno, Leopoldo Lugones, José Enrique Rodó, José Ortega y Gasset, Octavio Paz, José Carlos Mariátegui, and Gabriela Mistral. The journal published influential essays on the causes and consequences of the War of Jenkins' Ear, the Peninsular War, the Latifundia system, the Encomienda, and legal instruments such as the Laws of the Indies and the New Laws. Interdisciplinary pieces have connected historical narratives to artistic production involving Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, Rogelio Yrurtia, and writers like Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda.
Scholars have cited the journal in studies concerning the historiography of national formation, memory studies related to events like the Battle of Ayacucho, the Battle of Maipú, and the Battle of Carabobo, and comparative analyses involving the United States Declaration of Independence, the French Revolution, and decolonization processes after World War II. Reviews in periodicals associated with the Royal Historical Society, the American Historical Review, the Hispanic American Historical Review, and regional outlets in El Mercurio, La Nación (Argentina), and Excélsior have debated its editorial line. The journal’s archives are consulted by curators at institutions such as the Museo Histórico Nacional (Chile), the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Argentina), and librarians at the Biblioteca Nacional de España.
