Inside History Magazine - 2016-07 WinterInside History, Australia’s award winning magazine for Australian history and genealogy which has been going for nearly six years, has just released their Winter issue (issue 35).

This bi-monthly magazine brings some BIG news, in that that as of now (issue 35), IHM is changing to quarterly.

For those that are already subscribers, they say “subscriptions will be automatically converted to the new format, meaning subscribers will still receive the same number of issues as before, except that their subscription will last longer.”

So while it’s disappointing that there will be less issues per year, IHM said that it will allow them to “take on more projects, particularly in the digital sphere”. So keep an eye out for more big things from them in the future.

Anyway the latest issue has arrived,and here’s a rundown of what you’ll find in it.

  • Must-read tips on how to date photographs like an expert
  • Your essential guide to the Western Front Battlefields
  • Learn how to write your convict’s life story
  • Read about the colonial life of Samuel Thomas Gill
  • And the rare diary that’s revealing what Melbourne society was like in in 1860s
