Годишњак за друштвену историју

Having in mind the modern development trends of world historiography, as well as the need for the domestic professional and social public to get acquainted with the problems from the history of society, the circle of scientists around prof. On his initiative, Andrej Mitrović decided to launch a journal that would open space for younger, but also prominent, domestic and world scientists, who deal with this issue, to present the results of their research.

During the fall of 1993, in a "storm", at the Department of General Contemporary History of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, the idea of ​​launching a magazine dedicated to publishing works in the field of social history was formed. It certainly had its origin in the unique, then two decades, experience gained at the Round Table, which was initiated by Professor Andrej Mitrović, at the same department, back in 1974. The round table brought together students, postgraduates and doctoral students, who were offered an unusual experience until then. The round table discussions, their thematic diversity, openness to new ideas and topics, their critical re-examination, were a unique opportunity for thorough preparation of a new generation of historians, for their independent step into unknown or lesser-known research spaces, which later gained its own. materialization ”in numerous master's and doctoral dissertations. Among them were those who for the first time in Serbian and Yugoslav historiography opened many types of one, widely understood, social history.

Such experience and the need to open another circle of historiographical questions, especially to the younger generation of historians, encouraged us to embark on this risky and unprofitable endeavor in relation to the time in which it took place. Despite everything, at the beginning of 1994, the first issue of the Yearbook of Social History appeared, which continued to be published in the following years, at a different pace, depending on the means and the general circumstances that prevailed. Due to "known circumstances", the agreed rhythm of publishing - three volumes a year - was often deviated from. In a few years, between one and three volumes a year were published. If we can talk about some successes of the Yearbook, among the biggest ones is only its duration all these years. In an effort to sustain itself, the yearbook gradually gained resilience, taking over some of the energy of its younger and older associates and friends, those from the country and abroad, whose scientific contributions, more than 600 of them, were printed in Serbian, English, German, French and Russian. , along with numerous other texts (documents, reviews and critiques, polemics) which filled his pages. At least half of the modest circulation of the Yearbook managed to find a way and reach many foreign libraries, gain loyal readers and collaborators, including the names of those who belong to the very top of European contemporary historiography, and those to whom the first papers were published in our magazine.

The Department of General Contemporary History of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade first appeared as a publisher, and after the formation of the Association for Social History, it became the official publisher of the journal.
