The Archive for Reformation History is published under the auspices of the Verein für Reformationsgeschichte and the Society for Reformation Research. It appears annually in one volume of articles approximately 320 pages in length and a supplementary volume, Literaturbericht/Literature Review, approximately 160 pages in length, which consists of brief reviews of a large number of books and articles on aspects of early modern religion and society that appeared in time to be considered.
