Explore the Pacific Northwest Through the Pages of "Pacific Historical Review"
As historians gather in Portland for the Western History Association's annual meeting, we invite you to discover scholarship that illuminates the people, places, and histories of the Pacific Northwest. From Indigenous sovereignty and immigration to labor, gender, race, and social movements, these articles showcase the breadth of research published in Pacific Historical Review (PHR). In celebration of PHR's 30th anniversary at Portland State University, which has been the home of PHR's editorial offices since 1996, we invite you to read these articles for free online for a limited time.
