The University of Rochester Press seeks manuscripts for its Rochester Studies in Medical History (RSMH) series. The series editor is Theodore M. Brown, Ph.D., Professor of History, Community and Preventive Medicine, and Medical Humanities at the University of Rochester; he is assisted by a panel of distinguished scholars in the field. The editorial board welcomes new manuscripts ranging from monographs to edited volumes representing many authors and points of view.

The series has three major foci: the history of public health and health policy; the history of clinical and investigative medicine; and the history of the social and cultural significance of medicine and disease. Special interests include the history of measures aimed at controlling disease in populations, biomedical and epidemiological research and their applications in practice, and the cultural implications of medicine and its institutions.

Proposals should include: 1) a brief but detailed synopsis of the work outlining its intended contribution to the existing literature;
2) an abstract of 300 words or less, summarizing the work's content;
3) a complete table of contents;
4) one sample chapter. Scholars with an interest in submitting work for consideration should contact the editor to request a proposal form.
