The Oral History Review is not able to mail books out for review at this time because our offices at the Science History Institute are closed during the pandemic. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Potential reviewers may browse below to see the books OHR has available for review. Books are organized alphabetically by title with selected new titles highlighted at the beginning. Click on the book cover for details about the publication and click outside the pop-up window to return to the main list. The list will be updated twice a month and we will send occasional emails to the reviewer community with news events.
To become a reviewer: If this is your first review with OHR or if you haven’t yet filled out an information form here, please do so now, so we have your current contact information and availability. Every reviewer must have completed this form before receiving a book.
When you find a book you’d like to review: Fill out the form below to request a book, receive a due date, and have a copy sent. Reviews should be 700-1000 words, completed within about six months, and written according to the OHR Guidelines for Book Reviews.
Thank you very much for offering your time and expertise in reviewing for OHR. Your review means a great deal to the author of the book, the readers of Oral History Review, and the scholarly community at-large. For this reason, please take your commitment seriously. We are flexible about extending deadlines and look forward to working with you.
