In its early years, it represented one of only a few places for work on East Asian history to be published in Australia.Fitzgerald, John. "Research and Publications on Republican China in Australia." Republican China 13.2 (1988): 87-93. Igor de Rachewiltz's translations of the Secret History of the Mongols were first published in serialised form in this journal Walravens, Hartmut.

The journal adopted its present title after 1990, attempting "a more imaginative design and style" and longer-form article than was becoming usual in academic articles in history.{{Cite web |url=http://www.chinaheritagequarterly.org/scholarship.php?searchterm=028_slow.inc&issue=028 |title=Slow Reading and Fast Reference | China Heritage Quarterly |website=www.chinaheritagequarterly.org}} 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,"[https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/2022/23506/9-Journals.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y WESTERN SINOLOGY AND FIELD JOURNALS] 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.{{Cite journal |jstor=24628900 |last1=Nivard |first1=Jacqueline |title=Reviewed work: East Asian History, 1, 2 |journal=Revue Bibliographique de Sinologie |year=1992 |volume=10 |page=12}}

It was published in print until 2008, and continues as a peer-reviewed online journal. 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. Chen, William Ah Ket, and Wu Lien-teh, which were otherwise out of print.{{Cite web |url=https://www.asiabookroom.com/pages/books/142315/benjamin-penny/east-asian-history-number-34-december-2007-george-ernest-morrison-lectures-1932-1941 |title=East Asian History.
