We warmly welcome you to the Journal for Digital Legal History. With several conferences having been canceled due to the covid-19 pandemic, several scholars on social media expressed the sentiment that there is little space for DLH within the currently available journals. Digital methods are downplayed, to avoid rejection and are hardly ever the focus of a publication. As such, the conclusion is that - given the potential - a new journal is useful to accommodate this methodological need.

We are an Open Access Journal, that publishes free of charge.

We aim to showcase both new methods and the application thereof, by including elaborate graphics, datasets, links, Jupyter Notebooks, metadata and tutorials.

As such, the DLH does not limit itself to traditional formats and offers a platform for innovative research, to reach out to colleagues interested in novel approaches and methodologies.

Please consider yourself invited to submit a contribution!
