We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the 2025/2026 issue of “Pro Tempore” is now open. This year’s issue will accept papers on Egodocuments pertaining to history and related disciplines.

“Pro Tempore” is a journal run by students at the Department of History, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. Our mission is to enable students of history and other related disciplines to publish articles and to help them gain experience in editorial work. Furthermore, our aim is to extend knowledge on topics in history and to acquaint authors and readers with current trends in historiography.

By choosing Egodocuments as this year’s topic, we are attempting to divert attention to the specificity of these rich, and sometimes neglected, historical sources. The topic, based on the study of egodocuments such as autobiographies, personal journals, memoirs, travelogues, and letters, encompasses all historical periods, from ancient history to contemporary times, and different methodological approaches – historical, but also sociological, anthropological, literary, imagological, and others. We welcome papers based on the study of one or more egodocuments, as well as papers which problematize the place of egodocuments in historical research. Our goal is to showcase the value of this type of historical source and the ways in which we can approach them in research.

The editorial board will consider all types of research papers, as well as reviews, translations, interviews, and reports from conferences and round tables. All submitted papers will undergo a selection process. Papers accepted for publication will be reviewed by professors.

Submitted papers can have two authors. The journal accepts only previously unpublished works. By submitting manuscripts, authors assume full moral and scientific responsibility for opinions expressed therein. All papers should be submitted in the Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx) to the following e-mail address: casopis.protempore@gmail.com. The submission deadline is May 15, 2026.
