The AAHC, as constituted, promotes the use of computers used in historical studies, in both teaching and research. Helping the AAHC reach, this goal is our E-Journal, The Journal of the Association for History and Computing, under the editorial guidance of Dr. Jeffrey G. Barlow, Professor of History, Pacific University.

Editorial Comments include a reflection by editor, Dr. Jeffrey G. Barlow, on the third year of publication of the JAHC including the exciting report that ABC-CLIO, one of the largest publishers of scholarly indexes and reference materials, will now be abstracting articles appearing in the JAHC for publication in both Historical Abstracts and in America: History and Life. The JAHC is only the second electronic peer reviewed journal to be granted this honor.

Concluding remarks from our Executive Director, Dr. Dennis Trinkle, reflect on "Clio’s Digital Forge" and the fabulous success of our journal now in its third year of publication. To quote Dr. Trinkle, " The JAHC is averaging approximately 6,000 hits per month, and the readers represent every continent except Antarctica."
