The yearbook for the history of Latin America (abbreviation: JbLA, Spanish title Anuario de Historia de América Latina ) is a traditional journal for historical research on Latin America. The journal publishes unpublished articles in Spanish, Portuguese, German, English and French. There are research-oriented articles, research and literature reports as well as obituaries. The “Forum” section presents current historiographical debates and comparative considerations with other large areas. With this concept, the yearbook aims not only to contribute to research on Latin America, but also to give critical impulses to historiography in Germany and Europe.

Founded in 1964 by the Cologne historians Richard Konetzke and Hermann Kellenbenz as the “Yearbook for the History of State, Economy and Society in Latin America”, it was the first specialist journal on Latin American history in Europe to appear outside of Spain and Portugal after the Second World War. The yearbook has been published under its current title since 1998. All articles (since 1964) can be viewed in full on the homepage.

The yearbook is discussed in the Historical Abstracts and Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI).

In addition to the journal, the supplements of the yearbook for the history of Latin America appear at irregular intervals under the title “Latin American Research”. These are current monographic research contributions on Latin American history, primarily by scientists researching in Germany.
