Sierra Leone Studies is an academic journal about Sierra Leone. It has through various forms since the initial publication was launched in 1918.

First series

Second series

In 1944 the British Colonial Research Committee established the Colonial Social Science Research Council (CSSRC). In order to provide for the systematic collection and analysis of data concerning the colonies, British academics were sponsored to carry out research in the colonies. In 1953 the CSSRC provided £660 to publish two issues a year of a second series. This ran until 1970 during which time 26 issues were published.[1]

The journal was relaunched in 2012 by John Birchall (University of Cambridge).[2]
