Historical Metallurgy relaunches as an Open Access journal

• Historical Metallurgy will be online at HMSjournal.org
• All Historical Metallurgy content will be free to access online
• Historical Metallurgy has no publication fees for authors

Historical Metallurgy is relaunched as a platinum open access journal from January 2022. This means the journal is free to access and free to publish in. Historical Metallurgy is positioned to be the premier outlet for research in any branch of historical- or archaeometallurgy.

The Historical Metallurgy Society is offering new membership bands to accompany the digital journal, to encourage the global community of historical metallurgists to take a stake in the success of the innovative venture. The new platform will achieve rapid publication of the work of researchers from around the world, whilst maintaining the Society’s long-standing reputation for high-quality publication and robust peer review.

HMS is a dynamic and exciting international forum for the exchange of information and research in historical metallurgy. For over fifty years we have covered all aspects of the history of metals and associated materials from prehistory to the present. Our members’ interests range from processes and production through to technology and economics, in a range of specialisms including historical research,  archaeology and conservation.
