Contingent Magazine

Contingent Magazine is built on three principles: that history is for everyone, that every way of doing history is worthwhile, and that historians should be paid for their work. To continue publishing high-quality history that honors all three of these principles, Contingent needs your support. 

Your recurring or one-time donation will help ensure that we can

• plan the contents of forthcoming issues
• sign contracts with our contributors
• pay the editorial staff for their work
• pay for the software that keeps the site and the organization running

With your support, we've published pieces on colonial dinosaur hunts and the history of women's wrestling gear, what it's like to record oral histories with veterans and what it's like when your university closes. Your donation will help us bring you more great history writing by helping us pay historians--and web designer and artists and editors--for their work.
