About

Orthodox Traditionalist Publications is a traditionalist Orthodox Christian Press and Research-Based Editorial focusing on the publication of historical books and research-articles for the preservation and promulgation of the Orthodox Christian Tradition. As professional ecclesiastical historians, our commitment to a rigorous code of ethics is unwavering. We adhere to principles that ensure integrity, accuracy, and fairness in all of our publications. This commitment involves thorough and honest research, diligently verifying sources, and presenting findings without bias or distortion. Upholding academic honesty, we give proper credit for ideas and contributions, and we strive to communicate history in a way that is accessible and enlightening for all. Through these ethical practices, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of our past and its complex narratives, contributing to a more informed, reflective, and honest understanding of Church History.

​​

As both Ecclesiastical and Public Historians we follow the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as laid out by the National Council on Public History and the American Historical Association's Statement on Standards of Professional Conduct.  

 

The Public Historians’ Responsibility to the Public

This code recognizes that the public may be defined in multiple and sometimes competing ways and that public interest is a fluid concept often formulated within the context of particular situations and subject to continuous debate. Nonetheless, ethical practice implies a responsibility to serve the public interest, as conscientiously determined in any given situation, and requires certain basic principles of professional conduct.
 

1. Public historians should serve as advocates for the preservation, care, and accessibility of historical records and resources of all kinds, including intangible cultural resources.

​

2. Public historians should carry out historical research and present historical evidence with integrity.

​

3. Public historians should strive to be culturally inclusive in the practice of history and in the presentation of history.

​

4. Public historians should be fully cognizant of the purpose or purposes for which their work is intended, recognizing that research-based decisions and actions may have long-term consequences.

​

5. Public historians should maintain a conscious regard for the interpersonal dynamics inherent in historical practice.​ ​

With these Codes of Ethics and Professional Standards in mind, we express our gratitude for your continued readership and unwavering support of our historical research, which brings true Orthodox Church History to you.
