There are various journals that I have subscribed to in the past, or have found particularly useful for tracking down information.

Invisible Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture (Online only)
This journal is dedicated to explorations of the material and political dimensions of cultural practices: the means by which cultural objects and communities are produced, the historical contexts in which they emerge, and the regimes of knowledge or modes of social interaction to which they contribute.

As the title suggests, Invisible Culture problematizes the unquestioned alliance between culture and visibility, specifically visual culture and vision. Cultural practices and materials emerge not solely in the visible world, but also in the social, temporal, and theoretical relations that define the invisible. Our understanding of Cultural Studies, finally, maintains that culture is fugitive and is constantly renegotiated.

Journal of Contemporary British History (Frank Cass)

"Contemporary British History is the academic platform for the broadening of the understanding of all aspects of the recent past in the UK. The focus is on the history which has unfolded within living memory. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach, publishing the work of historians and also articles of a historical nature by other specialists such as political scientists, sociologists and media analysts. Alongside the best of new research in the various fields of contemporary history the journal continues to feature archive reports, a reviews section and witness seminars on key features of recent years."

Journal of Contemporary History (Sage)
The Journal of Contemporary History is an international forum for the analysis of twentieth century European history.The journal has long been established as essential reading for all scholars in contemporary European and international history. The Journal of Contemporary History publishes articles covering a broad range of historical approaches including social, economic, political, diplomatic, intellectual and cultural. It is noted both for its intellectual rigour and the accessible style of its contributions.

Nations and Nationalism (Blackwell)
"Nationalism is one of the central issues of the modern world. Since the demise of the Soviet Union there has been a proliferation of nationalist and ethnic conflicts. The consequent explosion of interest in ethnicity and nationalism has created an urgent need for systematic study in this field. Nations and Nationalism aims to satisfy this need. As a scholarly, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal, it is designed to respond to the rapid growth of research in the study of nationalism and nationalist movements throughout the world. Nations and Nationalism is the only journal in the English-speaking world specifically devoted to the study of nationalism."

Twentieth Century British History (Oxford University Press)
"Twentieth Century British History covers the variety of British history in this century in all its aspects. It links the many different and specialized branches of historical scholarship with work in political science and related disciplines. The journal seeks to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, in order to foster the study of patterns of change and continuity across the twentieth century. The editors are committed to publishing work that examines the British experience within a comparative context, whether European or Anglo-American."

Visual Communication (Sage)
Launched in February 2002, Visual Communication is expected to provide an international forum for the growing body of work in visual communication. The journal's definition of the visual is broad and includes: still and moving images; graphic design and typography; visual phenomena such as fashion, professional vision, posture and interaction; the built and landscaped environment; the role of the visual in relation to language, music, sound and action. Visual Communication is interdisciplinary bringing together articles from a range of subjects, including: anthropology, communication studies, discourse studies and semiotics, media and cultural studies, sociology, disciplines dealing with history, theory and practice of visual design.

Volume 1, Issue 1

Visual Culture in Britain (Ashgate)
"Since its inception in Summer 2000, this twice yearly journal has established itself as the forum for innovative research into visual culture in Britain. Its range encompasses the study of painting and sculpture, architecture and design, film, photography and the performing arts – in relation to the wider culture – both historically and geographically. Visual Culture in Britain addresses debates concerning racial, ethnic and gender identities, nationality and internationalism, colonialism, high and low culture, the role of institutions, cultural groupings and models of production and consumption, in contexts of the visual. The Review Section considers recent and new publications of particular relevance to those engaged in practice or research. The journal also hosts a series of conferences in venues including Tate Britain, which extend critical discussion in this burgeoning field."x}
