The Historian is the only professional journal to employ undergraduates.  In fact, all of the book review section staff, apart from the Editor and Sub-Editors, are undergraduates.  This staff of around twenty students bears responsibility for all the daily operations of the book review section, from corresponding with publishers and reviewers to proofing reviews and managing the large supply of books on hand.
