The Journal of Family History invites manuscripts reporting historical research or interpretations from a wide range of fields, including sociology, gender studies, demography, anthropology, economics, law, political science and policy studies. Articles should be no more then 40 typewritten, double-spaced pages. Include an abstract of approximately 100 words, with footnotes, references, tables, and figures on separate pages. To ensure anonymous review, keep identifying material out of the manuscript. Author's name, institutional affiliation, and address should appear on a separate cover page. Manuscripts should follow the Notes Style (see vol.21, No.1) of the Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition). Submission to the Journal of Family History implies that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere, nor is under consideration by another journal.

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jfh where authors will be required to set up an online account in the SAGETRACK system powered by ScholarOne.
