The Editors welcome your submission to International Public History at iph@lmu.de.
Submitted manuscripts should use American English orthography and follow the conventions of the Chicago Manual of Style.
IPH features a mix of theoretical, empirical, research based and practice-oriented scholarly articles, conversations, interviews, and reviews. Topics range from description and analysis of public history projects to debating theories, methods, approaches and issues undertaking public history and engaging different publics. Readers will encounter discussions about the public and political uses of history, oral history, public archaeology, heritage, digital public history, history and memory, exhibiting and curating, collecting and preservation, access and open access, sharing and shared authority, teaching public history, performance, and many more subjects, occasionally brought into sharp focus through special thematic issues. There will also be regular review sections discussing new museums and exhibitions, films, websites, apps and performances from around the world. We encourage comparative perspectives and global co-authorship.
Our acceptance of content for publication is based on double-blind peer review.
Manuscripts submitted to International Public History should use American English orthography and follow the conventions of the Chicago Manual of Style (see the Style Sheet) and should not exceed 60,000 characters. The inclusion of multimedia elements (photos, films, sound) is strongly encouraged.
Although IPH is published in English, submissions in all other languages are welcome. In such cases the editors will send your submission out for preliminary assessment and if the report is favorable we will then send it out for peer review. To assist us in this process we request that all submissions in languages other than English be accompanied by an abstract (ca. 300 words) in English. If a decision is made to publish your work, we will then ask you to provide an English translation [not via Google Translate or a similar service] for publication in the journal. At the moment, IPH does not have funding for translations. You will have the option to also upload the original language version onto our website.
