Reviews & Quotes
"Childhood in the Past is a particularly rare beast: an interdisciplinary journal with a clear agenda and a timely set of aims... This journal will hopefully become a recognised and respected forum for interdisciplinary research of the highest calibre.'"
Gabriel Moshenska
Archaeological Review from Cambridge 24.2 (November 2009)
"Archaeologists and historians have given children relatively little attention, so it is good to see a new international multidisciplinary journal which addresses the ways in which they were defined and treated... University libraries should subscribe, others can join SSCIP if interested.'"
