This article is about the academic journal. For the history of indigenous Australians, see History of Indigenous Australians.

The journal's scope includes the areas of Australian Indigenous history and oral histories, languages, biographies, bibliographic guides and archival research.[5] It has also brought previously unpublished manuscripts and research in the fields of Australian archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, demography, sociology, law and geography to the professional and wider public.[1] A focus on cultural, political and economic history is complemented by critiques of current events of relevance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and society.[6]

The journal is co-published by ANU Press, an open access academic publisher located at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. The journal is fully accessible online from the ANU Press website.

Aboriginal History Inc., the journal's publisher, also publishes monographs on a wide range of topics in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories. Since 2006 the monographs have been available through the website of open access co-publisher, ANU Press.
