History
When the History of Political and Social Concepts Group (now named History of Concepts Group) was founded in 1998, it established a History of Concepts Newsletter. This newsletter was first published at the Huizinga Institute (University of Amsterdam) and then at the Renvall Institute for Area and Cultural Studies (Helsinki University). In 2005, the newsletter was replaced by Contributions to the History of Concepts. The journal's founding editor-in-chief was João Feres, Jr. (Universidade Cândido Mendes). In its first years the journal was hosted and sponsored by the Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro (Universidade Cândido Mendes) and published by Brill Publishers, until it moved to Berghahn journals in 2010 and was sponsored by the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus.
