COMING THIS SUMMER!
The journal New Jersey History, founded as the Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society in 1845 and published under the direction of the Society until 2005, will be re-launched under the editorial direction of historians at the New Jersey Historical Commission, Kean University, and the Society. This peer-reviewed journal will be published online twice a year by the Rutgers University Libraries, with a printed edition available from Rutgers University Press. NJH is also supported by the New Jersey Digital Highway, which will provide an additional access point for the journal from its website, and will preserve the digital version of the journal via the RUcore preservation platform.
The editorial staff invites scholars, students, and writers to submit scholarly articles aimed at a non-specialized audience for its forthcoming issues. We welcome essays from all disciplines-for example, law, literature, political science, anthropology, archaeology, material culture, cultural studies, and social and political history-bearing on any aspects of New Jersey's history. We are also interested in documents, photographs, and other primary source material that could be published with annotations. For further details email peter.mickulas@sos.state.nj.us.
