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.

Dinner out tonight < supporting fellow historians. Thank you for producing an outlet for historians to showcase - and be properly recognized and compensated for - their expertise and labor.

I'm donating again because I'd rather see Contingent hit their goal than consume the 400 liquid calories in a venti white mocha. Supporting great causes cuts calories, we all win!

For much of my career, I had a historian in the office next to me. Over 20 years, I don't think a day went by when he didn't bring valuable context to whatever we were working. Looking forward to everything you bring to the conversation.
