The BEG/CHTP (1996-2011) was published by CEGES/SOMA and devoted to Belgian twentieth century history with a particular focus on the two World Wars, Colonial History and historiographical debates. Each issue included an extensive section with reviews of scholarly literature ('Library'). Journal articles were published in Dutch, French and (occasionally) English. From 1996 onwards, two issues were published annually. Some of them were theme issues. BEG/CHTP was associated with the Association des Revues scientifiques et culturelles. Its articles were present in Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life. The editorial board consisted of staff members of CEGES/SOMA, as well as representatives of Belgian universities and research institutes. All members of this former editorial board are currently members of the editorial board of the renewed Journal of Belgian History (2012-…).
