Seeking Submissions
If you are interested in history and you would like to submit an article for a future issue of the Vineland Historical Magazine, please do not hesitate to contact Curator Patricia A. Martinelli at 856-691-1111 or vinelandhistory@gmail.com. While most issues are general interest, there will be upcoming issues that deal specifically with one area of history. Remember that the Magazine is not limited to Vineland. Submissions that focus on regional history, New Jersey or the United States, will also be considered. Like many historical societies, we are aware of our responsibility to reflect our community and the world at large, so topics can include social issues as long as they have a historical component. Many people may still be surprised to know that some of the issues we’re discussing today, such as social injustice, homelessness, drug abuse, violence, and social and economic inequalities recently exacerbated by the novel coronavirus pandemic, were all areas of concern in the early days of the United States. Articles can range from 1,000 to 5,000 words in length and may be accompanied by photographs or illustrations. Final submission date is June 1 of this year. While authors will not receive any payment, they will receive two free copies of the magazine. It is an excellent opportunity for fledgling writers to get their work published.
The Vineland Historical Magazine was started in 1916 by Society Secretary Frank D. Andrews, who devoted more than 40 years of his life to preserving the collections. Andrews was a respected scholar and an author, who wrote about regional history, coin collecting and a variety of other subjects.
