CONFERENCE PANEL PROPOSAL
Publishing Local History: The Future of History Journals
New England History Association
Salem State College, April 2010 (date tba)
Seeking editors and others who would like to participate. I would love to see a panel or round table on scholarly publications with representatives from different state history journals, the Massachusetts Historical Review (published by the Mass. Historical Society), the New England Quarterly, and perhaps some of the New England focused presses such as the UMass Press and University Press of New England.
As the editor of the Historical Journal of Massachusetts I am interested in talking about the dilemmas facing very small state history publications and the role we play in historical scholarship.
If you’re interested, please send a 1 paragraph description of your proposal/ focus + brief CV to:
