We welcome articles and research notes from emerging scholars in all historical disciplines.

Authors have the option of submitting articles in one of two formats:

1. Research Articles

• based on original primary source research and grounded in the relevant literature
• approx. 5,000-6,500 words

2. Critical Commentaries

• reflective essays and “think pieces”
• not necessarily based on primary source analysis, but must demonstrate an element of originality
• approx. 1,000-2,500 words

Both types of submissions are peer-reviewed.

Blind Submissions

To ensure that your submission is reviewed anonymously, please remove all references to your name, university affiliation, or any other identifying markers from your writing.
