Welcome to the SHGAPE Blog
We are the official blog of the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. We seek to share public-facing scholarship that furthers dialogue and understanding of U.S. history from 1865 through the 1920s.
We are always open to pitches for new posts. View our contact page for more information on the submission process.

About SHGAPE
Since its founding in 1989, the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE) has fostered knowledge of the history of the United States from the close of the Civil War through World War I.
The Society’s mission is to advance new and innovative scholarship in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (GAPE), to build and cultivate an intellectual community for those interested in the GAPE, and to promote understanding of the GAPE among historians and wider audiences.
