It was published by the College of Education for Girls at the University of Basra, attached to Issue 33 of the Historical Studies Journal.

The appendix of the issue included a valuable collection of historical research that dealt with various topics, differing in their specializations and historical periods, including what dealt with Islamic history and its various branches, and dealt with the medieval eras in Europe and the Arab world, as well as the modern and contemporary era and its events.

The Journal of Historical Studies seeks to develop its research and keep pace with the development in the research field by linking it to international influences and entering more classifications.
