East Asian History is a biannual peer-reviewed open-access academic journal published by the Australian National University.

[7] Igor de Rachewiltz's translations of the Secret History of the Mongols were first published in serialised form in this journal [8][9][10][11] and remain its most cited contribution.

[12] The Handbook of Reference Works in Traditional Chinese Studies in 1996 deemed it "A consistently high quality journal, whose papers confirm the strength of Chinese history at A.N.U,"[13] while the Revue Bibliographique de Sinologie noted not only the scholarly value but also the original presentation and numerous illustrations of EAH under the editorship of Geremie Barmé.

In 2007, the journal reprinted the early Morrison Lectures (1932–41), which "illuminate the nature of the relationship between Australia and China in the period before the Pacific War and the Communist victory," including those of W.P.

Contributors have included Rafe de Crespigny, Lo Hui-min,[17] Mark Elvin, Liu Ts'un-yan, Charles Coppel, Pierre Ryckmans (writer)[18] and Leo Suryadinata.
