Vermont History Manuscript Submissions

Publication Scope

Vermont History is published twice a year by the Vermont Historical Society. The journal publishes new research and scholarship in most aspects of Vermont state and local history. The journal welcomes articles on a wide range of topics and on all time periods in Vermont's past.

• Whenever possible, articles should be based on heretofore unpublished documentary or other primary source material.
• We also publish significant new interpretations of events, ideas, individuals, and historical material directly related to Vermont's history.
• We run two occasional sections: "In Their Words," which presents historical documents, edited with a brief introduction; and "Vermont Archives and Manuscripts," reports from repositories on collections or record series of broad interest to our readers.
• We do not normally publish articles on genealogy, memoirs, or notes.
• We do not normally publish articles that have previously appeared in print in books, other journals, newspapers, newsletters, local society publications, or other formats that allow for wide distribution.
• We encourage submission of appropriate illustrations to accompany articles.
