Under CHS's stewardship, from 1922 to 2013, California History advanced knowledge about the Golden State with articles by leading scholars and writers focusing on California and the West from pre-Columbian to recent times. Compelling essays augmented by content-rich images (many from CHS's own archives), book reviews, features on CHS collections and fine arts photography, and commentary—all illuminate the ongoing dialogue between the past and the present.

Highlights of the journal's ninety-year history include special themed issues devoted to subjects such as El Clamor Público, the crusading Spanish-language Los Angeles newspaper published from 1855 to 1859 (2007); the lyrical, narrative, and influential poet Robinson Jeffers (2010); and the extended commentary and examination of Richard White's bold and controversial book published in 2010, Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America (2011)—as well as the California History Sesquicentennial Series.
