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.
Read more about who we are, what we're doing, and why we're doing it on our website.

Historical research should be accessible to everyone, and not reserved for only a select few, to either publish or read.

I love this idea so much! As a grad student, I know how much the work of writing is taken for granted... and it's wonderful to see someone finally take it seriously.

It's not much but I plan to make it a continuing contribution. I'd also love to contribute a small monthly amount if you ever set up a patreon account. Best of luck, this is a great venture!
