Member applications are currently closed. However, we are accepting submissions to our blog!

​

Blog submissions should be between 600–1200 words, with full Chicago-style citations and bibliography. These should be a final draft, but we may request edits before agreeing to publication. You may write these as casually as you would like—remember, our goal is to make history accessible!

 

Submit your articles here!
