We are thrilled to announce the launch of “Economic History Dissertation Reviews,” which will bring you friendly, non-critical overviews of recently defended, unpublished dissertations on various topics in modern and early modern economic history. Like all the other series on this website, “Economic History” will feature reviews and guides for archives, libraries and collections around the world. If you wish to participate in Dissertation Reviews, please click here to become a reviewer or to have your dissertation reviewed. You may also propose a “Fresh from the Archives” or “Talking Shop” article by contacting mark.rice@dissertationreviews.org.
