  • The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era covers American history from 1865 to 1920. Historians mark that span with two distinct names: the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. The journal holds both periods together in a single peer-reviewed publication, known in academic circles by the acronym JGAPE. Its pages carry scholarly articles and book reviews focused on these fifty-five years of American life. The Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era stands behind the journal. It is not the only organization with a hand in its publication.

  • The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center co-publishes JGAPE alongside the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Cambridge Journals handles the production of each issue on behalf of the Society. Four issues appear each year on a quarterly schedule. That quarterly cadence gives scholars working on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era a reliable, peer-reviewed venue year after year.
