“Cuadernos de Historia Contemporánea” (CHC) is a well-known Spanish academic journal, devoted to the wide field of modern and contemporary history. It is edited by the department of Contemporary History of the Complutense University of Madrid and published by the Publishing House of the University. After more than thirty years, we have become one of the most important journal in the area of contemporary history in Spain and one of the most important within the Latin-American scientific community.

The journal is published yearly; every volume has usually a monographic part (some articles about a single topic, edited by a well-known specialist) and diverse articles about different problems and issues. There is a strong part of reviews of important books about contemporary history. You can take a look to the usual contents of our journal here:
