The journal was first published in 1940 by the University of Melbourne's Department of History[2] as Historical Studies: Australia and New Zealand, continuing under that name until 1967, when it adopted the name Historical Studies. In 1988 it took on its present name.[1]

In 2003, Patricia Grimshaw was president, Joy Damousi was editor, and David Lowe was a member of the editorial board.[5]

Between 2012 and 2015, Christina Twomey and Catharine Coleborne co-edited Australian Historical Studies, after which Twomey was appointed chair of the Board managing the journal.[6]
