The study of the history of financial institutions, markets, instruments and concepts is vital if we are to understand the role played by finance today. At the same time, the methodologies developed by finance academics can provide a new perspective for historical studies.

It presents original research, in both authored monographs and edited collections, from historians, finance academics and economists, as well as financial practitioners.
