Oxford University Press has launched Oxford Bibliographies in Legal History, a new online resource edited by Gautham Rao.
The project aims to provide scholars and students with authoritative guides to the central themes, methods, and literature of legal history. According to Oxford University Press, the field of legal history now encompasses not only courts, lawyers, and doctrine, but also institutions, governance, power relations, social and family relations, identities, ideology, and the lived experiences of social, religious, and cultural minorities.
Oxford Bibliographies in Legal History forms part of the broader Oxford Bibliographies platform, a curated collection of research guides that is continuously updated by a community of scholars and researchers. The Legal History module is intended to offer accessible introductions, selected bibliographies, and guidance on both classic and recent scholarship in the field.
Oxford University Press also invites members of the wider academic community to become involved in the project. Authors, scholars, librarians, and students are encouraged to contribute, provide insights and recommendations, or contact the editorial team with questions and suggestions.
The Editorial Board is headed by Gautham Rao as Editor-in-Chief. The Area Editors are Alison L. Lefkovitz (Rutgers), Keramet Reiter (University of California Irvine), Mattias Åhrén (Lund University), Teri McMurty-Chubb (University of Illinois Chicago), and Tamar Herzog (Harvard University).
Those interested in contributing or contacting the editorial team may write to: LegalHistory.OxBib@oup.com
