HISTORY MATTERS is a historical journal that provides students with the unique opportunity to be published as undergraduates.  We encourage all undergraduates interested in historical research to offer a submission.
We are especially seeking research papers utilizing primary sources and historical articles; however, any historical work is welcome, regardless of genre.

This year we are putting an emphasis on providing members of Phi Alpha Theta an opportunity for publication. We hope that the members of your Phi Alpha Theta chapter will take advantage of this opportunity and submit their best work to History Matters.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION:
Authors may submit papers via e-mail attachment, in Microsoft Word, to histmatt@appstate.edu.  Please do not submit works already submitted to or published by this journal or other academic journals.  Revision and
additional research may be requested after editorial review, but a request for revision does not guarantee publication.  Please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style (latest edition) for citation guidelines, especially for footnote form, and include an e-mail address and phone number with submissions.  The final deadline is January 30th, 2015, but students are encouraged to submit papers as soon as possible.  The editors welcome any questions at histmatt@appstate.edu.

There is also a CONTRIBUTING EDITOR position, which allows graduate students as well as undergraduates from universities all across the country to become involved with History Matters. Their responsibilities include writing a book review for publication in the journal, as well as publicity on campus.

Thank you for your time and your consideration,
