The Southern Jewish Historical Society sponsors an annual journal, Southern Jewish History, which began publication in 1998. Manuscripts are now being sought.
Southern Jewish History is a refereed publication. Manuscripts will be reviewed by the editor and two peer reviewers. Memoirs, original research, creative methodologies and interpretations, historiographical and how-to articles are solicited. Some examples of how-to topics are how to research your family's genealogy or your community's history, how to conduct an interview or to record an oral history, and how to organize an archives.
Please note that articles should be substantial in depth and size. Smaller articles may be forwarded to the SJHS newsletter for consideration.
Not all papers-either delivered at conferences, receiving awards, or otherwise submitted-will be accepted, and authors may be asked for revisions as a condition of acceptance. For the purposes of this journal the South will be broadly defined as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia.
Authors should submit their papers in triplicate. The author's name, address and affiliation should not appear on these three copies but should be included separately. While articles may be submitted throughout the year, normally articles must be received by December 31st each year to be considered for publication in the forthcoming volume.
Authors are requested to follow the Author's Guidelines. All submissions and inquiries should be forwarded to:
