Public History Weekly , published in Munich . The International BlogJournal (PHW for short) is a historical and historical didactic specialist journal. It was founded in 2013 by De Gruyter Oldenbourg Verlag in cooperation with the FHNW University of Education (Basel, among others). Since 2016, the universities in Wrocław , Vienna and the Lucerne School of Education have also been partners. In principle, PHW publishes its articles multilingual (since September 2014), consistently in German and English, and again and again in French, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, etc.

The pioneering achievement of the journal lies above all in its interactivity: every contribution can be commented on, and the respective authors are encouraged to give a summary reply. Public History Weekly enables and promotes lively discussions of all problems of so-called public history , in particular of current history and politics lessons , current history and educational policy , political culture and the challenges of digital change for the humanities and cultural studies.

The frequency is weekly, with two so-called initial articles on Thursday morning (8 a.m.). An interested public is generally considered to be the target group of the journal, in particular scientists from the participating disciplines, teachers and students.

Public History Weekly has 30 regular authors from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Austria, Russia, Switzerland, South Africa, Turkey and the USA. In addition, initial contributions from guest authors appear monthly. The Advisory Board includes Gudrun Gersmann (Cologne), T. Mills Kelly (Fairfax), Claudine Moulin (Trier) and Jasmine Alinder (Milwaukee). The editors are Marko Demantowsky (Basel, managing director), Peter Gautschi (Lucerne), Thomas Hellmuth (Vienna) and Krzysztof Ruchniewicz (Breslau).

A special feature is the "Wilde 13" section, in which a surprise guest publishes at regular intervals (originally every 13th week) who does not belong to the narrow circle of regular authors from public history .
