History

Trajecta was founded in 1992, initially as a quarterly journal, as the successor to Archief voor de geschiedenis van de katholieke kerk in Nederland (Archive for the history of the Catholic Church in the Netherlands), published from 1959 to 1991.[1] This had itself been created by the merger of two earlier journals for the history of specific bishoprics: Archief voor de geschiedenis van het aartsbisdom Utrecht (1874-1958) and Bijdragen voor de geschiedenis van het bisdom van Haarlem (1873-1958). A third diocesan history journal, Bossche Bijdragen (1917-1971) joined in 1972.[2]

Trajecta was innovative in deliberately extending the earlier journal's focus from the Netherlands to both the Netherlands and Belgium, with Dutch and Belgian scholars getting equal representation on the editorial board.[3] The original focus on Catholic Church history was broadened to the History of Religion in 2013.
