H-France is a scholarly organization promoting the study of French and Francophone history and culture online. Since its origins in 1991, H-France has grown into a central source of scholarly information and publications related to French history, literature, art history, musicology, film studies, and philosophy. Publishing five open access journals and supporting a discussion list, a Scholars Registry, and a website, the H-France Editorial Team is composed of a large group of volunteers whose efforts are the heart and soul of its operations.

H-France Forum
Discussion and debate, interpretation and re-interpretation, new angles of analysis and new theories to consider–all of these are vital to the scholarly enterprise. H-France Forum encourages such activities by developing forums around recently published books. A forum begins with four scholars offering their various responses to a specific book. Afterwards, the book’s author responds to these reviews, taking the opportunity to further develop the books ideas and to defend the interpretive decisions made. The result is a substantial investigation of new interpretations, methods, and theories.
