Accounting Historians Journal
Accounting Research Methods and Resources
Deadline: March 31, 2025
Accounting history is an essential field of accounting research that continues to contribute to our knowledge of accounting and its development. The first issue of the Accounting Historians Journal was published in 1974. Professor Garner wrote in that issue:
“Study and research in accounting history are open to almost everyone having an accounting bent. The eagle eyes and ears of accounting historians will find few limits to possible surprise findings and important discoveries. In other words, everyone has an opportunity to make a contribution to the filling in of unknown details. Accounting history research is somewhat similar to the search for oil, that is, information regarding accounting history is where one finds it.”
