Journal of the History of Settlement (BHT), the Nordic region’s leading journal in the field of the history of settlement and a forum for scholarly exchange between disciplines such as art history, architectural history, agricultural history, economic history, cultural geography, history, archaeology, ethnology, and the history of parks and gardens. The journal is peer-reviewed and open access. Each issue is published in digital format on the website with a six-month delay and is indexed in EBSCO. BHT is one of the journals that has long received support from the Swedish Research Council (VR), but which had its funding withdrawn at short notice in December of last year. The annual funding from VR has ranged from 165,000 to 200,000 SEK. Since then, the board has taken a series of measures to save BHT, including raising the subscription price and increasing the number of subscribers from 230 to 300. The goal is to have 500 subscribers throughout the Nordic region within three years, which would make BHT less dependent on external funding. BHT has previously received a grant of 150,000 SEK from Handelsbanken’s research foundations to be used over a three-year period, and has been promised a grant of the same amount from the Fire Insurance Agency’s foundation. The grant from the Torsten Söderberg Foundation secures the 2015 publication.
