Submit an Article to the Delaware History Journal

Delaware History publishes professionally researched, interestingly written articles that expand and illuminate the understanding of Delaware history. While the topic must be Delaware, authors from anywhere in the world are welcome to submit manuscripts. Research should be firmly based on primary sources and current historical scholarship.

The journal’s editors and anonymous outside scholars review manuscripts. Acceptance of a manuscript is based on those reviews.

Delaware History is highly illustrated using images from the Society’s collections and other sources. Authors are responsible for providing high-quality prints or publication-quality scans of images from other collections, for obtaining all necessary permissions, and for any associated costs.

Authors do not receive payment for articles. They receive 5 copies of the issue in which their article appears and may purchase additional copies at a discount. Offprints may also be purchased.

Editors welcome inquiries from authors and are willing to evaluate works-in-progress intended for Delaware History.

For inquiries or submissions, please contact Leigh Rifenburg, Chief Curator.
