About the Institution
Associate Professor of History Dr. Kyle Jantzen is proud to announce that Ambrose is home to a "new" online history journal, the ACCH Quarterly (available online at http://journal.ambrose.edu/acch). The Quarterly, which began publication in March 2010, supersedes the long-standing e-mail newsletter published by Professor Emeritus of History John S. Conway of the University of British Columbia. Like the newsletter, the Quarterly is produced on behalf of the Association of Contemporary Church Historians, a group of over 450 historians, theologians, clergy, and other interested readers of modern German church history.For Ambrose, the ACCH Quarterly represents a commitment both to academic research and to the dissemination of university research to the wider public. Dr. Jantzen, Managing Editor of the Quarterly, partners with colleagues on a fourteen-member editorial board comprised of German church history experts from Canada, the United States, Britain, and Germany. Together they present reviews of recent books and articles on twentieth- and twenty-first-century German church history and related topics (European church history, comparative studies in Christianity and politics, religion and totalitarianism), as well as editorials, essays, short articles, and reports on conferences, new research, and related topics of interest. Their goal is to provide a forum for information and debate about recent developments in modern German church history that serves not only scholars in the field but also the broader public who are interested in subjects like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German churches in the Nazi era, Christianity and the World Wars, the Vatican and the Holocaust, and the European churches under communist dictatorships.Ambrose also provides the engine that drives the ACCH Quarterly. Director of Information Technology, Steve Morris, manages the Open Journal System software on which the Quarterly is produced, while Ambrose hosts the new journal on its network. Employing the Open Journal System (see http://pkp.sfu.ca) is itself an important aspect of the ACCH Quarterly's commitment to open source academic publishing. The Open Journal System software has been made freely available by its developers at Simon Fraser Unive ...
