Southern California Quarterly The quarterly journal published by the Historical Society of Southern California has a long and distinguished history.  Beginning in 1884, one year after the the Society was founded, HSSC began to issue an Annual Publication.  In 1935 a quarterly journal was launched.  As a respected historical resource, the Southern California Quarterly continues its commitment to scholarship, public awareness and appreciation of local history into the present day.

The Southern California Quarterly is a scholarly journal devoted to the publication of articles and edited documents relating to the history of the Southern California, California as a whole, and the Far West. The Quarterly welcomes contributions, not only by Society members, scholars, and research workers in the history of the Far west, but also by persons who are working in related disciplines and professions.
