The early journals were similar to those for the physical sciences, and were seen as a means for history to become more professional. Journals also helped historians to establish various historiographical approaches, the most notable example of which was ''Annales. Économies. Sociétés. Civilisations.'', a publication instrumental in establishing the [Annales School](/source/Annales_School). Some historical journals are as follows: *1839 ''[Messager des sciences historiques](/source/Messager_des_sciences_historiques)'' (Belgium)[Stefan Berger](/source/Stefan_Berger_(historian)), "The Invention of European National Traditions in European Romanticism", in ''The Oxford History of Historical Writing'', vol. 4, edited by Stuart Macintyre, Juan Maiguashca and Attila Pók (Oxford University Press, 2011), p. 35. *1840 ''[Historisk Tidsskrift](/source/Historisk_Tidsskrift_(Denmark))'' (Denmark) *1859 ''[Historische Zeitschrift](/source/Historische_Zeitschrift)'' (Germany) *1866 ''Archivum historicum'', later ''Historiallinen arkisto'' (Finland, published in Finnish) *1866 ''[Revue des questions historiques](/source/Revue_des_questions_historiques)'' (France) *1867 ''Századok'' (Hungary) *1871 ''[Historisk Tidsskrift (Norway)](/source/Historisk_Tidsskrift_(Norway))'' *1876 ''[Revue Historique](/source/Revue_Historique)'' (France) *1881 ''[Historisk tidskrift](/source/Svenska_Historiska_F%C3%B6reningen)'' (Sweden) *1886 ''[English Historical Review](/source/English_Historical_Review)'' (UK) *1895 ''[American Historical Review](/source/American_Historical_Review)'' (USA) *1912 ''[History](/source/History_(journal))'' *1914 ''[Mississippi Valley Historical Review](/source/Mississippi_Valley_Historical_Review)'' (renamed in 1964 the ''[Journal of American History](/source/Journal_of_American_History)'') (USA) *1916 ''[The Journal of Negro History](/source/The_Journal_of_Negro_History)'' *1916 ''Historisk Tidskrift för Finland'' (Finland, published in Swedish) *1918 ''Hispanic American historical review'' *1928 ''[Scandia](/source/Scandia_(journal))'' (Sweden) *1929 ''[Annales.
