ANHS Journal
ANHS publishes HIMALAYA, a peer-reviewed inter-disciplinary journal devoted to presenting original academic research on the region and disseminating information (research reports, book reviews) of interest to those working on and in the Himalayan region. The journal is currently hosted by Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Submissions to the journal can be made electronically via this link.
HIMALAYA began as a mimeographed newsletter (the Nepal Studies Newsletter) for the Nepal Studies Association and developed into a journal, the Himalayan Research Bulletin, more or less in its current format, in the early 1980s. In 2003, the journal underwent an extensive redesign and was given a new name, HIMALAYA.
