La Revista Historia de América es una publicación de la Comisión de Historia del Instituto Panamericano de Geografía e Historia y como tal depende de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA). Fundada en 1938 por Silvio Zavala es una de las revistas especializadas más antiguas en el continente y una de las pocas que se propuso a través de un espacio de discusión académica generar un conocimiento de y sobre el continente como conjunto o sobre alguno de los países que lo integran. Retomando la idea original de su fundación, la revista es un espacio de construcción de una identidad regional y de redes académicas entre historiadores para fomentar el interés de la historia de América como objeto de estudio. Durante los últimos 80 años ha sido dirigida por reconocidos académicos de distintas instituciones internacionales como Silvio Zavala, Ernesto de la Torre Villar, Laurio H Destéfani, Francisco Enriquez Solano y Rubén Ruiz Guerra. Actualmente la nueva época en su versión digital y de acceso abierto que inicia en octubre de 2017 se encuentra bajo la dirección de Alexandra Pita González (Universidad de Colima). Se trata de una publicación de carácter académico que busca contribuir en las tareas de investigación y de enseñanza de la Historia de América a través de la publicación de contribuciones evaluadas por pares académicos nacionales y extranjeros en las siguientes secciones: artículos libres o temáticos, documentos y reseñas. Dado que es una publicación que depende de un organismo internacional puede publicarse en los cuatro idiomas oficiales: español, inglés, francés y portugués.
