Circa: The Journal of Professional Historians is a peer refereed journal published on an annual basis by PHA (Vic). The inaugural edition was launched in March 2010.

Circa aims to publish work that reflects the many styles, themes and formats embraced by professional historians. It showcases the PHA and the work of professional historians and celebrates the diversity and richness of professional history.

The journal provides a forum for all Professional Historians Association (PHA) members throughout Australia to publish work that reflects the diverse ways in which professional historians engage with history and practice in areas such as cultural heritage, museums, oral history, commissioned history, the media, education and government. Submissions may discuss pertinent ethical or philosophical questions, exhibitions or historical drama; be a piece of creative or reflective writing; explore the use of common or unusual sources; or examine a topical issue. Reviews of exhibitions, historical drama, books and other publications will also be included.

Circa is distributed to all PHA (Vic) members, contributors, interstate Professional Historians Associations, and various libraries and archival holdings including the State Library of Victoria and the National Library of Australia. Copies can be purchased through PHA (Vic) for $25.00 including postage. Please contact us.
