In a related question to this one, in what journals do math historians publish their article in? Brian M. Scott provided a link to Judy Grabiner's, who is a math historian, home page and it seems that she publishes in general mathematical journals for the most part, such as the American Mathematical Monthly. However there is mention of a journal that seems to be exclusively for math history called "Historia Mathematica". Are there any other journals exclusively for math history?

    Math Monthly is very nice, but it is not a research journal. I have never seen a history of math paper in a mathematics research journal.2012-06-05

    @AndréNicolas Yup I believe you are right about that.2012-06-05

    There is also [Archive for History of Exact Sciences](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_for_History_of_Exact_Sciences). This journal does not deal exclusively with mathematics, but you can find some interesting math-related papers there.2012-06-05

    André Nicolas: **Russian Mathematical Surveys** publishes, or at least used to (I don't have access to any volumes after 1999), quite a number of very good historical articles. In particular, I have photocopies of several lengthy articles on Russian research in descriptive set theory that discuss things I know of no other references for in English (e.g. Lyapunov's work on $R$-sets, Keldysh's work on Luzin's problems, etc.).2012-06-07

    Add Archives for History of Exact Sciences, it has math stuff too.2012-06-05

    Yes, one could add a lot of other journals that have math history, but OP's question was, "Are there any other journals exclusively for math history?" and I chose to interpret literally. By the way, I don't claim the list I've given is exhaustive.2012-06-05

    @MagicMan, the poster is a new, unregistered user. I have a vague recollection that unregistered users *cannot* edit their posts.2015-04-07

    @BarryCipra Interesting. I guess that's somewhere over on meta. I thought about answering with *Mathematics Magazine*, but this question is very old.2015-04-07

    @MagicMan, greg's first posting updates the link to Ganita Bharati, which is now a dead link in Gerry Myerson's answer. New users can't post comments, only answers.2015-04-07

    @BarryCipra Do you have a link for that information per chance? On meta or in the help center somewhere?2015-04-07

    @MagicMan, sorry, no. As I said, it's a vague recollection, and I could be wrong.2015-04-07
