About the York Historian
York Historian is YAYAS’ own academic journal. First published in 1976, the Historian boasts articles from eminent historians such as Ron Butler, Eric Gee and David Palliser. Following sporadic publications in the 1930s and ’50s, and funded by the sale of YAYAS’ private library, the initial aim of the journal was to provide a robustly academic view of the archaeology, history and architecture of York and Yorkshire.
Published biennially at first, the journal became an annual publication in 1994 with the continuing aid of the Sheldon Memorial Trust , who still contribute to its printing today. The Historian has further links to the Sheldon Trust: we are lucky enough to publish essays winning their coveted essay prize .
Over the years, the York Historian has produced a wide variety of ground-breaking research covering everything from Roman roads and Medieval street names to heraldry and stained glass, and we hope to continue in this endeavour for years to come.
