About us
All of our team are volunteers, we couldn't exist without all of them!
Our Story
History journals and magazines exist. History blogs and websites exist. Women’s and queer history journals and blogs exist. Yet these histories are still novel. Their historians struggle to get their work into mainstream publications. When featured in public media, they can often fulfil a diversity quota, or a ‘special interest.’
Founded in January 2023, The HERstory Project is intended to be a platform for both underrepresented histories, and their historians. We want to support early career historians, academics, and writers to engage with their research interests in a judgement free, accessible way. Abby originally intended for the Project to be history blog to continue her engagement with historical writing after graduating. But as we've grown over the past 2 years, The HERstory Project has become so much more than she ever could have imagined.
In June 2023 the Project welcomed its first editors and contributing writers. In 2024 we launched out print magazine and grew our social media. In 2025 we released The HERstory Project Podcast. Who knows what the future holds!
The HERstory Project grew from a passion for underrepresented histories and a desire to make a career in history a reality. We hope you enjoy our work and if you would like to work with us, get in touch at contact@herstoryproj.com.
